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. --- Every page of this site as Markdown:
