In-Context Moderation in-context-moderation
For AEM Communities, moderation may be performed by administrators and trusted community members directly on the published page where the community content was posted.
When using a moderation console, the information displayed for the content includes a link to the published page to allow access to additional moderation actions available when moderating in-context.
Moderation Actions moderation-actions
Visit the moderation overview for a description of moderation actions.
Moderation UI moderation-ui
The UI presented to the moderator on the publish instance is contained within the dialog for posting and managing user-generated content (UGC). The elements of the UI are determined by the status of the site visitor - whether they are…
- The member who posted the content.
- A trusted member moderator.
- An administrator.
- Signed in, but neither an administrator, moderator, nor author of the content.
- Not signed in.
Example example
Using the Geometrixx Engage site created when Getting Started with AEM Communities, it is possible to set up a thread in a forum on which to experience various moderation activities in the Publish environment. See below.
Aaron McDonald (aaron.mcdonald@mailinator.com) was identified as a trusted community member by adding him to the community-engage-moderators group when creating the site.
Rebekah Larsen (rebekah.larsen@trashymail.com) can be added as a member of community-engage-members group using the Members console.

When to change the nectar in Humming Bird Feeder

Enter the body text
I haven’t had much success when I hang a hummingbird feeder up every year. Seems they come a day or two then that is it. I change it once a week is that too long? Must I change it sooner?
