Note: For many users, it is no longer available as of June 2025, and the update process is now fully automated, eliminating the need for manual version management.

Query
- Why is the Update menu no longer displayed for the AEM as a Cloud Service development environment in Cloud Manager?
Resolution resolution
To fully leverage the benefits of automatic updates and continuous access to the latest AEM versions, you should integrate automated functional tests into your CI/CD pipelines to help prevent regressions. Automated testing ensures that critical business functionality is validated before any new version is deployed, minimizing business disruption and enabling safe, timely adoption of new releases. If any critical tests fail, the rollout of the new AEM version is blocked, ensuring stability and reliability.
