How should you build an AEM page to share digital assets?

Customizing the existing "out of the box" asset share page is the preferred approach for building an AEM page to share digital assets because it leverages the pre-built components and functionalities provided by AEM. This option allows practitioners to benefit from the standard features and best practices already integrated into the system, which can significantly reduce development time and ensure a consistent user experience.

The out-of-the-box asset share page is designed to facilitate the display and management of digital assets effectively. By customizing this page, you can tailor the layout, design, and functionality to better meet specific business needs or brand requirements, while still maintaining compatibility with AEM's underlying architecture and performance optimizations.

Building an asset share page from scratch can be more time-consuming and requires a deeper understanding of AEM’s technical framework. It may lead to unnecessary complexity and could miss out on optimizations that have already been incorporated into the existing asset share page.

Using Scene7 or the Creative Cloud as options focuses more on asset management and collaboration rather than directly addressing the creation of a specific page for sharing assets within AEM. Scene7 is primarily a platform for dynamic imaging and media production, while the Creative Cloud is oriented towards creative applications for design and content creation, rather than the direct sharing
