The identification system is available automatically when you view the front end of your website while logged in with the appropriate WordPress permissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To see which Content Blocks are active on the current page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visit the <strong>front end<\/strong> of your website while logged in to WordPress.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Locate <strong>Content Blocks<\/strong> in the WordPress admin toolbar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the menu to see the Content Blocks currently being used on that page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The menu can include active Hooks, Pop-ups, custom single or archive templates and other supported Content Block instances associated with the current page.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Granular Controls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Edit a Content Block<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Select any Content Block from the toolbar menu to open it directly in the WordPress editor.
