Entity Usage (light)

Simple and lightweight module to display referenced entities. Works with all entity type. Do not track usage but simply displays the list of referenced entities in a new tab.

This module adds a tab to each entity type's local tasks where users with sufficient permission can quickly see the list of all referenced entities.

Most common use case: enable "Usage" tab on Node and select "Medias" to get the list of all Media used by a node - including media in WYSIWYG, entity_reference fields, paragraphs...etc.

This module detects referenced entities from the following field types:

• entity_reference field
• Image fields
• Paragraphs fields - and fields inside paragraphs
• Text fields - e.g. CKEditor fields and embed entities

How to install

• Download the module
  composer require drupal/entity_usage_light
• Enable the module
  drush en entity_usage_light
• Activate the module per entity type in Admin > Config > Content Authoring > Entity Usage Light settings
• Go a bundle config edit form (e.g. the "article" node type)
• Select the detectable entity types for this bundle
• Open an entity and go to "Usage" tab (cf. screenshots)
• If bundle has revisions enabled, you can also view Usage per revisions (WIP in this issue)
