Fields Support

See which field types are visualized in the minimap and how blocks, tabs, and nested structures appear in the sidebar.

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

Three field types are excluded from the minimap:

  • gap
  • hidden
  • line

The list is fixed and does not track Kirby's own notion of a field that stores nothing. headline and info store nothing either, yet they appear in the minimap as visual landmarks – which is what they are in the form. hidden does store a value but has nothing to navigate to, so it stays out.

The same three types are skipped inside block fields, so a line block never shows up as an entry.

The title and slug fields are dropped too, since they live in the Panel header rather than the content area.

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 comes from the block's blueprint icon; without one, built-in block types fall back to a matching icon (heading → title, list → list-bullet) and every other type to box.

Content Preview

Blocks with prose show the first 50 characters of their text. Blocks without prose fall back to a label – an image block shows its alt text or Image, a gallery block shows Gallery (3), and a custom block type shows its fieldset name.

list, table and code carry prose but show their type name regardless, since a stripped-down table or code listing reads as noise in a navigation sidebar. The code entry appends its language, as in Code (php).

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.
