• Add URLs for pages where the module is used and/or should be tested - URLs include a notes field to provide context or instructions for the URL
• Historical activity (install/uninstall and version changes) is tracked automatically.
• Views integration
• Import/export commands (with drush integration) allow data to be moved/shared between different versions (local/dev/stage/prod) of a site
• Reports

Getting Started

Module usage is seamlessly integrated with the Module List page by clicking Extend on the admin menu (/admin/modules). On the module list page:

1. Click on the description accordion of any module
2. The new Module Usage Documentation accordion will open at the bottom of the module description pane.
3. The list of modules can be filtered to only those that have documentation, those that don't have documentation, or all modules.

Integration is included on the module updates page (/admin/modules/update) as well as the Available Updates report (/admin/reports/updates)
