An Umbraco backoffice dashboard that helps you find unused document and data types across your site. Includes block list and block grid component detection.
- Searches through your content tree to find document types that aren't used by any content nodes
- Finds inner content nodes that reference a specific document type (e.g. for nested content or block list components)
- Save your progress and come back to it later with the "Save in Tool" feature
- Works with both SQL Server and SQLite
