What problem does this plugin solve?

When trying to identify if a certain component is populated with any data anywhere within that setup, this plugin can be used to quickly find this information. This can be useful for analysis before:

• Modifying the fields of an existing component.
• Deleting a component from the setup.

How does it work?

Once installed and enabled, the plugin displays a list of all the components in the setup. On selecting a certain component, it lists the collections and records that contain data for the selected component.

FAQ

When identifying if a component is populated within a certain record:

• If the selected component is directly not part of a collection, but instead part of another component that belongs to the collection, such relationships (upto any depth level) are taken into consideration.
• Locales are also taken into consideration and displayed.
• Only published records are considered. Draft versions or older versions of the records are not considered.
• This plugin works with Strapi v5.0.0 onwards. It does not support earlier Strapi versions.
