Create report of blocktype and pagetype usage

Hi.

We have a project where there is some blocktypes (in this case) are deprecated and should be replaced with others. The block could be structured under a page (For this page) or globally in the Block assets folders.

Ideally I would like to create a report where all blocktype and/or pagetypes are listed and I could see every instance (with a link to edit the instance) and how many times it is referenced (secondary, due to I can see this when editing the block).

Is there anything like this today OOTB, or something I could build myself using IContentRepository and IContentModelUsage?

Thanks!

There are a couple examples of what you're looking for, I think:

N1990.Episerver.Cms.Audit

Repo: https://github.com/nicolaayan/EpiserverCmsAudit
(Note, there is a nuget package but it hasn't been updated, so you'll need to work directly with the repo if you're on CMS 12.)

Eshn.ContentTypeUsage

Thanks Daniel. I've taken inspiration from the repos and developed my own report/view; a scheduled job writing to DDS and a view for editors/admins that presents the data written to DDS.

Thanks!
