Block Content Explorer offers a central hub for managing all your Drupal block content, including those created with Layout Builder. It helps you see where blocks are used, find orphaned blocks, and manage them more easily.

Block Content Explorer provides a centralized administrative interface for managing Drupal block content, including inline blocks created with Layout Builder. It improves visibility, control, and tracking of block usage across your site.

Features

  • Centralized listing of all block content (reusable and inline)
  • Detect orphaned inline blocks not attached to any entity
  • Track reusable block usage across content entities
  • Enhanced access control for secure block management
  • Views-powered UI with filtering, sorting, and search

Post-Installation

After enabling the module, go to admin/content/block-explorer to access the Block Explorer interface. A new tab will also appear on the Content admin page. The interface provides filters, usage details, and block status indicators. No additional configuration is required to start using the module.

Additional Requirements

  • Drupal 11
  • Core modules: block_content, layout_builder, views
  • No additional modules required
  • Best used with Layout Builder-enabled content types

Similar projects

Drupal core provides basic block management but lacks visibility into inline block usage and orphan detection. Block Content Explorer focuses specifically on improving discoverability and management of blocks in Layout Builder workflows.
