Content Coverage

DXM Block Audit separates inventory by the thing you are auditing. Reading the right table matters, because block-type usage and entity-level coverage answer different questions.

Blocks versus Patterns #

Blocks is aggregated by block type. It answers questions like how many core/button instances exist or which source types are affected.

Patterns is a separate inventory for reusable or synced pattern entities. That includes legacy reusable records, and it excludes explicitly unsynced entities. It answers which reusable entity is referenced, and where it is referenced via core/block.

• Use Blocks when the decision is about a block name.
• Use Patterns when the decision is about a reusable or synced wp_block entity.
• Do not expect Pattern rows to behave like block-type totals; they are intentionally separate views.

Template Parts and Navigations #

DXM Block Audit also tracks direct entity references that matter in Full-Site Editing workflows.

• Template Parts tracks direct core/template-part references and the indexed sources that use them.
• Navigations tracks direct core/navigation references and the indexed sources that point to those navigation entities.
• These inventories are about entity references, not generic block usage totals.

What "Unknown" or unresolved rows mean #

Unknown rows are follow-up signals. They usually mean DXM Block Audit found a direct reference whose target could not be resolved into a current indexed entity row.

• They are not automatically evidence of a product bug.
• They often point to content drift, changed entity state, or a baseline that should be refreshed.
• The right next step is usually to inspect the related sources and rerun a full scan if the content changed recently.

Rule of thumb #

• Blocks: block-name inventory.
• Patterns: reusable or synced wp_block entities and where they are referenced.
• Template Parts: direct template-part refs and their source locations.
• Navigations: direct navigation refs and unresolved IDs grouped for follow-up.
