Getting Started

Zero-config sidebar navigation for the Kirby Panel – jump between fields and blocks in complex blueprints with a single click.

Kirby Minimap is a free plugin for Kirby CMS. Install it, and a structured sidebar appears next to any Panel view with a blueprint – no license activation, no setup.

Requirements

  • Kirby 4+ or Kirby 5+

Step 1: Install the Plugin

The Minimap plugin is completely free and requires no license activation. Simply install it and start enhancing your editing workflow immediately.

Composer

The recommended way to install the plugin:

composer require johannschopplich/kirby-minimap

ZIP File Download

Download the or head over to the releases page to see all versions. Extract the ZIP file to your site/plugins folder.

Step 2: Start Using the Minimap

Once installed, the minimap automatically integrates into your Panel interface. No additional configuration is required – the plugin works out of the box.

Navigate to any page or content view, and you will notice the minimap appears on the right side of the Panel interface when editing content.

Navigation States

The minimap has two states that you can toggle between by clicking the arrow button at the top of the minimap interface:

  1. Collapsed State
    Displays a minimal vertical indicator with positional markers for each field, maintaining an unobtrusive presence.
  2. Expanded State
    Reveals the complete navigation interface, showing field names and block details.

Tab Awareness

The minimap is tab-aware: when your blueprint uses tabs, the minimap displays only the fields from the currently active tab. Switching tabs automatically updates the minimap to reflect the new content structure.
