Overview

Paragraphs Usage Manager provides a centralized administration interface to manage where paragraph types are allowed across paragraph reference fields.

Instead of editing each paragraph reference field manually, site builders can manage paragraph type availability from one global matrix or from a dedicated usage page for each paragraph type.

What problem does it solve?

On large Drupal projects using Paragraphs, the same paragraph type may need to be enabled or disabled across many content types, bundles, custom entities, and nested paragraph fields.

Doing this manually can be repetitive and error-prone because each field configuration must normally be edited separately.

Main features

- Global permissions-style matrix to manage paragraph type availability across compatible parent fields.
- Dedicated Manage usage tab for each paragraph type.
