Adobe Express Embed SDK v4 is out!

[amanda_h]

We're so excited to announce that the Adobe Express Embed SDK v4 is now publicly available. There are a number of breaking changes as we've changed the way the SDK is initialized and broken each workflow (full editor, quick actions, and modules) into individual classes. Each class contains method names that are more verbose and should simplify the way developers use our SDK. Read our changelog here.

What's new in v4? 

👉 Callback functions are specified in the initialize API. More verbose, intent-driven method names across the board. 

👉 Modules are contextual, mini-editing experiences that you can surface to your users. The modules available at this time are text to image and image editing. Text to template and other modules are on the way.

👉 Delayed login is now available.

👉 Additional export options are available -- have more control over how the user continues editing in the full Adobe Express editor. 

Get started

👉 Quickstart guide

👉 Sample

When should I migrate by? 

We do not plan on deprecating v3 of the SDK anytime soon so if you are already using v3, your team can plan the migration at your own pace. Using v4 brings new editing experiences, performance benefits, and the latest of Adobe Express to your users! If you are using v1 or v2 of the SDK, please move over to v4 as soon as possible. Both of those versions are no longer maintained and will be deprecated soon.

We will be pushing a few changes to the SDK today (thanks to your early feedback and support):

- callbacks are no longer set in the initialize method

- Every API now accepts appConfig. Callbacks are now part of appConfig.

The documentation has been updated accordingly, and the sample will be updated shortly.

Hey, we've been trying to switch from v3-v4 since last week but are still being completely blocked by this issue https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-express-embed-sdk-bugs/invalid-psd-url-when-loading-the-editor-... Tried reaching out on the AE-discord as well to gain some assistance but was forwarded back here again, is there somewhere else we can open up a support ticket for this? Thank you in advance!

This forum is the correct location, there isn't another official support channel for this SDK.

That said, the fix for this is now in producion, please give it a try and let us know if it's working.
