Adobe Express Developers

We have been notified of an issue affecting parts of the Embed experience, where some features such as font color and border options are not visible, and the Embed Express left panel is unresponsive. While the left panel issue is fixed, our team is working to resolve the rest of the problem quickly as possible. We understand how this may impact your workflow and appreciate your patience while we work on a fix. We'll continue to keep you informed as we make progress. Thank you for your understanding.

Our Express Embed has stopped letting anyone click the sidebar to add media or elements. Users can upload media but not click any of the other buttons to use any saved in files or add stock media or text. Thanks, Ru Howe

We're looking for a solution for Adobe Express that allows us to freely design and place captions without having to use Express templates. There aren't any good solutions among the add-ons either. Can something like this be custom-programmed?

Using adobe express and find that every time I replace an image the change doesn't apply and I have to go in and do it a second time before it registers. I click image, click replace, click replace w/ upload, navigate to folder of image I’m uploading, select image, hit enter. It exits the upload screen, however the image remains the same as previous. Repeat the steps and it will then change.Definitely not express if I have to make every change twice.

We've just heard from another customer that login to Express Embed is not working on Safari on Mac, but is working on Chrome.In Safari in Express Embed, it loops back to the login screen after logging in with a valid account. We've tested on different Macs for us here. See screen recording here that my colleague just recorded.https://www.loom.com/share/f59cf896943f41dabf19553c726bc6a8But in full page Express, it is fine with the same account.We are on SDK v3. Perhaps it's that?I'm worried that something's changed in Safari.Please could you test at your end and see if it's the same for you for your own test Express Embed instance? This may be related to the other thread that I just posted about students not being able to log in - we're asking about their browsers.Attached is the Safari console log during the failure to login. I've run this past GPT, and it says:Observed Errors from Safari Console log:Identity Authentication FailuresIMSProfileNameMissingError: User profile is missin

Hi All,I am using the Adobe Express Embed SDK (Full Editor) in our web app. I have a custom DAM system where users store their design assets.I want users to be able to search and use assets from my DAM directly inside the Adobe Express editor.Here’s what we want to achieve:User opens the embedded Adobe Express editor in our site.Inside the editor, they can search or browse assets from our DAM.Selected assets appear in the Express editor for editing. Is it possible to add or integrate a custom asset search UI within the embedded editor?Thanks,Niraj Jha

Hey! I just got a report that the language switch in the embed SDK is not working.If you go into the settings & update the language, the UI will update at first. Then once you close the settings menu, the whole app will refresh and the language defaults back to english again.I'm seeing the same issue using both v3 & v4, and it can also be reproduced on the demo site https://demo.expressembed.com/

We recently switched to Adobe Enterprise licenses from Adobe personal licenses. One of our users has video he created in Adobe Express with his old account. He migrated the videos to the new account, but since starting to use the new account, he is no longer able to download video media. He can download pictures. THis is the error from the console.Access at ....from origin https://new.express.adobe.com has been blocked by CORS policy: response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check. No 'Access-control-allow-origin" header is present on the requested content.

I’m trying to use the embed within an app that’s rendered in an iframe. I added the embedding domain to the allowed domains, but still get this error: > Refused to frame 'https://new.express.adobe.com/' because an ancestor violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "frame-ancestors 'self' [REDACTED].com".

In Developer Days, it was mentioned that we'd soon have in Express Embed SDK the much-requested ability to use company templates with the createWithTemplate as well as the standard Adobe-provided template.This would be a game changer. Is there any news on timing of this? Last mentioned here 5-6 months ago.Thanks,Ru

My goalprescribe the settings available in the button dropdown (see image below) in my codewhen the user clicks the Print button - no popup shows, no options available - perform the callback function and return to the web app I am not finding the settings for the file format options which are different depending on the file format.  Additionally, if I set image/png, the file format dropdown still starts at JPG. I do not want to give the user these options; I want this to be controlled in the code.  Current exportConfig:const exportConfig = [ { id: "save-modified-asset", label: "Print ", action: { target: "publish", publishFileType: "image/png", outputType: "base64", }, style: { uiType: "button" }, }, ];

Hi, Exporting a video with a colour background to use against a same colour background on our website, the background colour in the video changes on export.We've found this via our Express Embed so I am reporting it here.Background colour of images does not change on export.Specifically: I set the background colour of the Adobe document to FFCF03I export it as video and the background colour in the exported video comes out as FDD506See attached screenshot - the video is lighter, less saturated.The workaround for us to to edit our images and background colours to use the same colour as the video, rather than the other way round. Ideally that shouldn't be the case, of course - it should match the RGB colour we specified.And I understand the difficulties in colour profiles with video - but if possible, it would be great for the team to do some work on trying for greater colour matching on export.Thanks,Ru Howe

I would like to embed Express SDK into my app, but would like to keep the Editor Panel as simple as possible for my clients.  Is there anyway to customize the modules in the editor so that I can hide certain modules and choose which other modules are available?   Thanks!  

Hi, I m building a web app that will use Adobe Express SDK.  We want our users to be able to edit our templates and only our templates, not other ones provided by Adobe.  Is this possible?  It s not clear in the forums or at least I havent found anything on the subject.Also, is there an SDK documentation in Spanish?Many thanks

Gooday!, Adobe team & community,I've been successfully integrating the Adobe Express SDK into my project to launch the image editor with base64 image input using the createWithAsset method. Until recently, this worked flawlessly — but now, the image no longer loads in the editor,   even though the SDK initializes properly.(thought might be a cors issue but then it worked earlier and i have my cors settings adjusted)Here’s a summary of what I’m doing: backend is served via Nginx at http://localhost:8000location / {if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*' always;add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS' always;add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'Content-Type, Authorization, application-token' always;add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' 'true';return 204;}i am using a self-signed HTTPS cert locally — the SDK loads and initializes but theres alot of errors poping in inspect while load

Logging into the v4 Embed doesn't seem to work and causes it to login momentarily but then refresh and reload the embed to a logged out state in seconds. Searching the forums it seems reported previously and is related to Safari blocking third-party cookies. It looks like there's missing implementation in the Embed SDK to make this work. Safari does support requestStorageAccess to allow users to opt-in to allowing it to work.https://privacysandbox.google.com/cookies/storage-access-api It would be worth attempting to detect if Partitioned cookie flag is supported too as Chrome/Edge and Safari 26 will support that. (CHIPS - Cookies Have Independent Partitioned State) Not easy to detect though.

We have retitled the "Adobe Express Embed SDK" board to "Adobe Express Developers " to have a place for both Embed SDK and Add-on developers to post discoverable threads. The Adobe Express Discord is still a great place to have conversations, but we hope providing a forum will help increase Google SEO for problems and advice about all forms of Express extensibility.  Please be sure to choose “Add-ons” or “Embed SDK” topic labels appropriately for your threads.   For Embed SDK queries, you can still use the topic tag "embed-sdk". All the previous threads from the Embed SDK forum are still here, labeled "embed-sdk".
