Understanding content item usage

List all pages where a content item is used

In the Page builder, you can now find out how many time a data source item is being used among all the pages of all the sites of an environment, as well as the workflow state of that item. You can also access a list of all the pages the content item is used at least once. If a content item is used multiple times on a single page, it will count as "Used in 1 place".

When opening the Content item usage dialog, you can see the list of the individual pages where the content item is used at least once, and for each of the pages you can see:

  • The site the page belongs to.

  • The name of the page. Pages are grouped by unique item ID and language and version. If you see the same page listed twice, once with a language and once without, it means one reference is tied to a specific language version, and the other is either unversioned, shared, or missing language metadata.

  • The language version of the page when available.

  • The section and field where the content item is used. "Section" is the named region or rendering (for example, Layout, Header, Footer) and "Field" is the data field or property within that section (for example, Title, Image, Link, Final Rendering).

  • The workflow state of the page.
