In my previous blog post, Smarter XM Cloud: Rendering insights for PO, CE and more, I shared a script to gather all renderings used per site. In this post, I want to demonstrate how you can identify the page(s) that actually use a specific rendering.
Of course, you could use PowerShell for this, but Sitecore has a built-in feature that saves us from scripting or manually searching through the entire content tree. This handy tool is called Links; it shows you exactly where any item (including rendering) is referenced.
How to use the Links feature:
-
Open the Content Editor.
Use the search box in the top-left corner to find the rendering you want to investigate.
-
Select the rendering item.
-
In the ribbon, click the Navigate tab.
Click Links.
Sitecore will display a list of all items—typically pages—that reference this rendering in their presentation details.
This quick and reliable method lets product owners and developers alike track rendering usage across your platform. It makes maintaining, updating, or cleaning up components much easier and helps avoid accidentally breaking pages.
Happy searching!
