"Find All Reference" like functionality for sitecore content tree

Problem
I was new to Sitecore and I had to trace lot of things on the existing project to find out where all the elements are connected, like these renderings are used where? which item is using which template or if you have a template, which item is being created from that template, all those references I was trying to find.


Being a .net guy and visual studio familiar, you always love to see if you can get something like "Find all references" and can find where the object you are refereeing to is referenced.


Solution
Sitecore provides real good referencing in its "Navigate->Links" menu, You select any object be it, layout, rendering, template and go to Navigate menu
and inside it click "Links" menu it will give you following two types of reference

  • Items that refer to the selected item.
  • Items that selected item refers to.

It becomes easy when you are having some experience in Sitecore, but if you are just new to Sitecore, this will definitely help !!!

Set up leprechaun code generation with Sitecore XM Cloud Starterkit

Hi Sitecorians, It has been amazing learning year so far and with the change in technology and shift of the focus on frontend frameworks and composable products, it has been market demand to keep learning and exploring new things. Reasons behind this blog Today's topic is something that was in my draft from April-May, and I always thought that there is already a good documentation out there for  Leprechaun  and a blog post is not needed, Until I realized that there was so many of us facing same kind of issues and same kind of problems and spending same amount of time, That is where I thought, if I could write something which can reduce that repetitive troubleshooting time, That would really help the community. 1)  In a project environment, if we get into some configuration issues, we resolve them, we make sure we are not blocked and continue, but if you think same issue, same step and same scenario will come to other people, so if we can draft it online, it will help othe...
