Getting Started

Learn how to install and configure the Minimap plugin to enhance your Kirby Panel experience.

The Kirby Minimap plugin offers structured sidebar navigation for the Panel, providing an overview of all fields and blocks in your current view. With one glance, you can see the entire structure of your content, which makes it easier to navigate and edit page blueprints with numerous fields or extensive block configurations.

The recommended way to install the plugin is via Composer. Run the following command in your terminal:

composer require johannschopplich/kirby-minimap

Head over to the releases page and download the latest version as a ZIP file. Extract the contents 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.

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.
