Details

I have an Experience Cloud site configured with 6 languages.

  •  When my user language is set to English
    •  Searching for a Knowledge article returns the expected article. 
    •  Navigating via the menu (Topic → Product) also shows the article on the Topic Detail page. 
  •  When my user language is set to Spanish
    •  Searching for the same Knowledge article returns the Spanish translation correctly. 
    •  However, when navigating via the menu (Topic → Product), the article does not appear on the Topic Detail page. 

The Spanish version of the article:

  •  Is published 
  •  Is visible to the correct channel 
  •  Is a translation of the English article 

Question:

 

Is it expected behavior that Topics must be manually assigned to each translated Knowledge article for them to appear on Topic Detail pages? Or is there a way for topic assignments to automatically carry over from the original (English) article to its translations?

    Hi @Steve Lopez

     

    This is expected behavior in Experience Cloud. Topics are assigned at the article version level, and each translated Knowledge article is treated as a separate version. Because of this, topic assignments from the original (English) article do not automatically carry over to its translations.

    That’s why your Spanish article appears in search, but does not show on the Topic Detail page unless the same topic is explicitly assigned to that translated version.

    So yes, you’ll need to manually assign topics to each translation if you want them to appear in topic-based navigation.

Right now, our university applicant portal uses the Education Cloud site template for experience cloud, which is built on Aura.

 

With Lightning Web Runtime making experience cloud much more powerful, we still aren't able to benefit from that in an education context because key features of the education site template (such as the dynamic application delivered component) is only available on Aura.

 

Does anyone know if LWR is coming for Education? We want to take advantage of things like Scheduler, which has had some exciting new enhancements for education, but we are wary of doing so when Aura support is being deprecated within the next year (see below).

Thanks, everyone!

    Hi @Nathan O'Day - This is a real gap that several Education Cloud customers are navigating right now.

    The honest answer is that Salesforce has not publicly committed to a timeline for LWR support on the Education Cloud site template. The Education Cloud product team has acknowledged the dependency on Aura for components like the dynamic application delivered component, but there's been no formal roadmap announcement for LWR parity.

    Given the Aura deprecation timeline you referenced, I'd recommend a few things. First, raise this directly with your AE and Education Cloud account team and ask them to log it as a named customer blocker — the more Education Cloud customers who formally flag this through their account teams, the more it gets prioritized internally. Second, if you haven't already, submit an idea on the Salesforce Ideas Exchange specifically calling out LWR support for Education Cloud site templates — getting votes from the community helps put it on the product team's radar officially.

    On Scheduler specifically, if your use case doesn't depend on the Education Cloud site template components, you could technically run Scheduler on an LWR site in parallel while keeping your applicant portal on the existing Aura template for now. Not a clean solution, but it avoids blocking your Scheduler rollout while you wait for clarity on the LWR migration path.

    Worth checking in with your Salesforce Education Cloud community contacts as well — someone closer to the product team may have more current information than what's publicly available.

Hello the community,

 

We create a brand new Experience Site in LWR in a sandbox.

The site has no customisation for the moment and i try to deploy it by using the Change Set Method (as a first try) on an other sandbox.

However we face the following issue, when validating the package on site/testXXX1.sfdc_cms__route/Too_Many_Requests:

"The value of the $.routeType property isn't supported for this site."

 

It seems to be related to Salesforce CDN however the 2 sandbox are similar in term of configuration.

Does someone face the same issue?

 

Regards

Yann Hochet

    In the end I "fixed" it by asking Salesforce support to activate the Org Permission "Enable enhanced features in Experience Sites" in my orgs. Then the "Too Many Requests" page became available in the Experience Cloud Sites, and deployment worked.

I am trying to make a component conditionally visible in my LWR site. I have found an article that tells me how I can achieve this. However, I can't follow the instructions in the article because I can't find the Visibility Tab. 

 

Link : https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.exp_cloud_expression_based_visibility_components.htm&type=5

 

Is there any other way to achieve this?

    Hi @Roman Regmi

     

    I had the same issue, it seems this Visibility tab only applies for LWR Enhanced sites. Also, it's not similar to Visibility Rules in an standard Lightning Record Page, since it only filters visibility based on the user record. It cannot filter based on the object page record for example.

Hi,     I've been trying to solve an issue and I'm a bit stuck for a solution. I believe I've checked everything but it doesn't seem to work.     I have a flow that's run on the partner portal experience cloud, with a send-email action for leads upon conversion. I fill a variable beforehand with the email address from the lead owner (which is an internal user) to ensure I have a value to assign to the send simple email action.     However no matter what I try, there's a 0 recipients error.     The portal users have access to the owner field, so they should have access to the owner email address? (?)  Email deliverability is set to all email   Send email permissions are ON for portal users  Portal user emails are verified  The send email action is version 2 and the lead owner is checked to be an actual user (not a queue)    Hoping to get some more ideas on what to check here.     Thanks!

    Ran into this before, its almost always a context issue. 

     

    Your flow is running as the portal user, and even though they can "see" the Owner field, they can't resolve the email from it at runtime. Set your flow to System Context without Sharing and it should work. 

     

    If it still fails, add a fault connector on the send email action and log the recipient variable. It's probably null even though it looks populated in debug. 

     

    Long shot but also check if you're passing a text variable vs a collection variable to the recipient field. The action silently fails if the format is wrong.

Hello,

 

We’ve come across the Known Issue Results component does not apply Topic based filtering to Discussions.  The stated workaround is not ideal for us, has anyone come up with a better workaround?

 

Thanks in advance!

    Hi @Shellie Parker,

     

    This is a known issue, and unfortunately there’s no proper workaround yet.

    As alternatives, you can:

    • Use a custom LWC/Aura component for topic filtering
    • Or separate content across different pages

    Not ideal, but these are the current options.

Hello, 

 

We have implemented two custom domains (.com and .cn), and internal users should be able to access the Experience Cloud portal using the same SSO (Azure AD) already used for CRM login, from both domains.

We’re currently seeing an issue with the SAML-based SSO: authentication succeeds, but users are redirected always to the primary My Domain instead of the domain where the login was initiated. The primary domain was not explicitly configured and seems to be taken by default. 

 

Is there a way to ensure users are redirected back to the original domain (.com / .cn) they started from? Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

 

Thanks, 

Andrea

    ok i cant think of easy solution here. I would say talk to your Identity provider and see if they are able to send relay state back when they are posting the saml. Since they are posting to single domain, by default, it will take you to home page of that domain only. If you add some relay state/start url, it will take you to the url you specify post login.

    Navigation menu within experience cloud can be translated via translation workbench . But Take a note it will take 24 hours in order to reflect those translations

My client has a requirement to allow certain portal users to attach articles to cases.     We are utilizing the Manufacturing Cloud template, however.    "Case Deflection Component" doesn't seem to be available, nor any kind of Knowledge Search beyond Global Search.    Are there any bright ideas to allow portal users (Experience Cloud) to attach articles to Cases or Work Orders?     The main use case is Remote Support (portal user) does the first diagnosis of an issue remotely, then dispatches a Field Support person (portal user, and we are not using Field Service) to go fix the issue physically.   - I want Remote Support users to somehow gather the right articles (support guides, repair guides, etc.) and give them to their Field Support person assigned the Work Order.  - Remote Support is working from a Case, then creates a Work Order to "dispatch"  - Field Support gets the Work Order from them - IDEALLY with attached articles (I already have a Flow that copies attached articles from Cases to Work Orders)  - They have access to a "Technical Library" for Knowledge articles, but it'd be AWESOME if they could provide the articles straight on the Work Order to give them a good chance.    Also! If Case article suggestions could be accessed to help the Remote Support folks, that would be amazing too.     P.S. The portal users have the Customer Community Plus license.    Any ideas???

    Hello Alicia, 

     

    Yeah this is a pretty common gap with the Manufacturing template in Experience Cloud — it’s not as Knowledge-friendly out of the box as the standard Customer Service templates.

    Honestly, since you don’t have the Case Deflection component, you’ll need to get a bit creative here. One practical approach is to build a custom Knowledge search + attach flow directly on the Case record page in the portal. You can embed a custom LWC or even a Screen Flow that lets Remote Support users search Salesforce Knowledge, select relevant articles, and then create CaseArticle records. This basically mimics the internal “Attach Article” experience but exposed to portal users.

    Then your existing Flow that copies linked articles from Case - Work Order is perfect — that part you’ve already nailed.

    For the “suggestions” piece, since standard Einstein Article Recommendations won’t show nicely in this template, you can simulate it by:

    • pulling top articles based on Case fields (like Product, Issue Type, Keywords)
    • or even a simple Flow/Apex that queries Knowledge using those fields and shows “Recommended Articles” in that same custom component

    For the Work Order side, if you want Field Support to consume easily, you could:

    • show linked articles in a related list (if visible in portal)
    • OR better: surface them in a clean UI (custom component again) with direct links / summaries

    Hope this helps!

Hi All, 

 

In our Salesforce email, when I hover over the address in the ‘To’ field, it shows the person’s full name instead of their email address. Could you help me adjust this so the email address is displayed?

     did you try updating the compact layout and consider email field.. as i mentioned in my earlier comment? 

     

    as i understand.. the hover behavior is driven based on field in compact layout
