Fields Support

Get an overview of how the Minimap plugin renders fields and blocks in the sidebar.

The Minimap plugin displays fields from your blueprint in a structured sidebar. This page explains how different field types are rendered and what information is shown.

Field Display

Each field in your blueprint appears in the minimap with its label. The minimap reads the field configuration from your blueprint and displays the label you defined.

Required Fields

Fields marked as required: true in your blueprint are indicated with a star symbol in the minimap. This helps content editors quickly identify which fields need to be filled out.

Excluded Field Types

Contentless field types are automatically excluded from the minimap to keep the navigation clean and focused on editable content:

  • gap
  • hidden
  • line

Block Fields

Block fields receive special treatment in the minimap. Instead of showing just the field name, the minimap displays each block individually, giving you a detailed overview of your content structure.

Block Icons

Each block in the minimap is displayed with its type icon. The icon is determined by:

  1. The icon defined in your block's blueprint (if specified).
  2. A fallback box icon for blocks without a custom icon.

Content Preview

Blocks show a short text preview extracted from their content. The preview displays the first 50 characters of the block's text content, giving you a quick glimpse of what each block contains.

Click to Navigate

Clicking on any block in the minimap scrolls the Panel view to that block. When navigating to a block, it briefly highlights with a pulse animation to help you locate it in the content editor.
