Content model visualisation for Umbraco

See your content model from above.

Schema City lays your Document Types out as a city plan: a card for each type, a district for each root, and lines for allowed children, compositions, block targets and picker references. Findings flags schema problems before they ship.

Get startedTry the demo
dotnet add package TheBuilder.SchemaCity

Umbraco CMS 17 and 18 · .NET 10

The demo schema as a city plan with structure lines on: the Site district with Compositions, Microsite, Unreachable and Settings around it, and the Overview in the corner

Schema City never changes your Document Types, Data Types or content. The only thing it writes is the decisions you record on findings.

Understand a schema before you change it

Open it under Settings, or from the Relationships tab on any Document Type, to start on that type and its neighbours.

Find your way around

Search by name, alias or property alias. Hover a card to see what it connects to, and focus on a type and its neighbours.

See what content uses

Colour the cards by content count, published share, cultures, incoming references or unused types.

Know what a change touches

Impact lists every type a change reaches, with the path to each one, and checks a new alias for collisions.

Compare environments

Compare against a saved snapshot, grouped by cause, and tick off what you planned to see what nobody asked for.

Read it without the plan

List, Tree, Matrix, Editor and Data Types show the schema as tables, a tree and pages, and work from the keyboard.

Show it to a room

Presentation mode fills the screen with larger names, and a caption card replaces the inspector.

Catch problems before they ship

Findings checks for blocks that point at deleted Element Types, duplicate aliases, unused types and Data Types, types no editor can reach, culture mismatches and overloaded tabs. Mark a deliberate one as intentional, and it reopens by itself if the type changes.

One schema, five views

The chosen view is kept in the URL, so a link opens the same view. Every view except City plan shows the schema as tables, a tree or a page.

Try it on a sample schema

The demo runs in your browser with 86 types and problems planted on purpose. It needs no Umbraco install.
