The Hidden Cost of Scoped Context IDs in Sitecore XMC

When working with Sitecore XM Cloud (SitecoreAI), Next.js, and the Sitecore Content SDK, scoped Context IDs are strongly recommended — especially for values exposed to the browser.

I followed the official Sitecore documentation, created a scoped Context ID, wired it into my Next.js app… and still ended up with a runtime error that wasn’t obvious at all.

This post documents what went wrong, why the error message is misleading, and what you actually need to scope correctly.

The Hidden Dependency of Sitecore XM Cloud Forms: Cloud SDK Events

 When working with Sitecore XM Cloud and the Content SDK, adding a Form to a page can suddenly cause a runtime error that wasn’t there before. The error points to Cloud SDK initialization, but the connection between Forms and the Cloud SDK isn’t immediately obvious. This post explains why Sitecore XM Cloud Forms depend on the Cloud SDK Events package, what triggers the IE-0014 error, and where the SDK must be initialized to avoid breaking preview and production environments.
