Dependencies widget

Contents

The Dependencies widget shows the references between the selected content and other content items in the repository.

  • An inbound dependency is content that uses the selected item — for example, a page that embeds it, or a shortcut that points at it.

  • An outbound dependency is content that the selected item uses — for example, images referenced in its rich-text fields, or targets of content selectors.

Dependencies widget

Inbound dependencies are listed above the content box, outbound below. When there are no dependencies of a kind, the widget shows a placeholder (No incoming dependencies, etc.). When there are dependencies, a button displays the total count, with icons and counts broken out per content type.

Clicking the count button opens a new browser tab listing all dependencies of that direction. Clicking a per-type icon opens the same view, pre-filtered to that type.

Dependencies are what the Archive and Unpublish actions check for before allowing the operation — if another content depends on the one you are trying to archive or take offline, you will be warned. See Archive and Unpublish for details.
