A common issue is to see new blocks not showing up after publishing the page they live on.
Steps
Blocks must be published before they will show up on a page. The latest version of Episerver.Labs.BlockEnhancements(which is a separate package) addresses this with a feature called smart publish which identifies blocks associated with the page and asks the user if the blocks should be published. This is not available by default and requires the addition of the Episerver.Labs.Bl...

Description
This article describes an issue when a new block is created there are unrelated documents that appear under the asset pane in the "For this block" section.
A similar issue was found in an upgraded site from 7.1 to latest Episerver. Product Development investigated and found that somehow there was some content under the contentRootFolder that did not belong. It could have happened during migration of vpp files or Blobs.
Resolution
The solution was to move those conte...
