Which does Adobe AEM Assets create when creating a version of an asset?

When creating a version of an asset in Adobe AEM Assets, the system generates multiple components to ensure that the new version is comprehensive and maintains all relevant information. This includes the creation of renditions, metadata, and sub-assets associated with the original asset.

Renditions refer to different formats of the asset, such as images in various sizes or resolutions, which are necessary for various use cases across different platforms. Metadata encompasses details about the asset, including title, description, and usage rights, which are critical for searchability, organization, and proper asset management. Sub-assets are derived or related assets that may be necessary for specific contexts or applications of the main asset.

By creating renditions, maintaining metadata, and managing sub-assets, Adobe AEM ensures that all aspects of the asset are preserved and accessible in its new version, allowing users to effectively track changes and utilize the assets in various contexts. This holistic approach is essential for maintaining consistency and integrity in asset management.
