Search with Drag-and-Drop

Non-text search

Alternatively, FirstSpirit objects can be dragged into the search field with drag-and-drop, for example:

• Nodes from the tree structure (pages, sections, media, templates, etc.)
• Workspace tabs
• Individual input components with content or only their content from an open workspace
• Elements from the integrated preview

Depending on the object, the search then returns, for example, the following:

• Usages of the dropped object in the project, e.g.:
  • Where in the project is a medium from the integrated preview used or maintained?
  • Where in the project is a medium from the tree structure, a workspace or the integrated preview being used?
• Usages of values saved in input components, e.g.:
  • Where are right-aligned Images used?
  • Is a heading or another text being used anywhere else?
  • Which other datasets belong to a category?
