Managing Web Parts

by liquidpooled on Apr.30, 2008, under Microsoft, Office, Sharepoint Server

Web part management on a page with a large number of parts can be a hassle at times, as you can not always get a clear view of all of the parts on page (you may have closed a part and forgotten about it, etc.).  A quick way to view all of the parts on your page (including closed parts) and thus manage them all in a central location is to append a query string to the page your are on.

For instance:
http://<serverurl>/<pagename>.aspx?contents=1

The addition of the ?contents=1 query string will automatically navigate you to the “Web Part Page Maintenance” page (/_layouts/spcontnt.aspx).

Note:  You must already be in “Edit Mode” for this to work.
