Exploring the Content Validator
The Content Validator meticulously scans your LookML code to identify references to models, Explores, and field names that are embedded within your Looker content. It serves as a valuable tool for verifying the integrity of LookML references, rectifying errors introduced by LookML modifications, and updating the names of LookML elements throughout your project. To access the Content Validator, you need the developer permission.
Getting ready
To launch the Content Validator, select Content Validator from the Develop menu in the left-hand navigation pane.

The Content Validator can be utilized in two distinct ways:
- Validate: To identify and resolve errors stemming from changes made to your LookML model.
- Find & Replace in All Content: To locate and replace models, Explores, or field names across your Looker content, regardless of whether errors exist in the Looker content.
