Provides advanced reporting functionality for layout builder settings.

Types of Reports

1. Differential Report

2. Single Report
   • Provides a layout builder settings report for a single entity or entity type.
   • This is useful if you want to quickly inspect the default layout builder settings for a content type or an overridden node.
3. Override Report
   • Coming Soon

Use Cases

1. Compare layout builder settings between two different bundles
2. Compare layout builder settings between two different displays on the same bundle
3. Compare layout builder settings between a bundle display, and an entity that is overriding those settings
4. Compare layout builder settings between two entities that are overriding the same bundle display settings
5. Get a quick overview of the layout builder settings for a bundle

Requirements

Known Problems

• The module requires javascript/ajax
• There are some weird UX/ajax issues related to the entity autocomplete field when switching back and forth between different entity types

  The Layout Builder Usage Reports module is a very high-level report module that shows you what nodes/blocks/paragraphs are using layout builder, but doesn't deep-dive into the configuration settings.

  The Layout Builder Settings Report module, on the other hand, allows you to inspect layout builder configuration settings both at the entity type display settings level and the individual node level, and compare them with other displays/entities across the system.

  Both reports can coexist on the same system, and provide different insights into where and how layout builder is used in a particular system.
