Minimal
The Minimal use case is the smallest built-in output profile. It uses the shared CoverKit base behavior—default image settings, mapping sources, and render lifecycle—without extra use-case settings or WordPress front-end hooks such as Open Graph meta tags or sidebar previews.
When to enable it
Section titled “When to enable it”- Testing templates and the mapping pipeline before turning on Open Graph or sidebar output
- Extension development when your custom code or another use case will handle output, and you only need a template assignment skeleton
- Layouts you want in the registry but do not need to expose to editors as a full product feature yet
When to use something else instead
Section titled “When to use something else instead”| Need | Use |
|---|---|
| Social / link preview meta tags | Open Graph image |
| Editor sidebar preview | Sidebar image |
| Custom front-end behavior | Custom use cases |
Configuration
Section titled “Configuration”- Open a CoverKit template.
- Enable Minimal in the use cases sidebar.
- Map fields the same way as other use cases (required and recommended fields come from the base mapping sources).
- Save the template.
There are no Minimal-specific toggles in the UI beyond enablement and mappings.
