# Smart Page X-Ray View

The **[X-Ray View](https://learn.assette.com/docs/x-ray-view/)** feature provides users with a behind-the-scenes look at how content is structured within Assette’s Content Stack. Designed to enhance transparency and efficiency, X-Ray View enables users to inspect the components that make up their content—ranging from foundational data elements to fully assembled documents.

To access the Content X-Ray View for [Smart Pages](https://learn.assette.com/docs/smart-pages-overview/), click on the ellipses to the right of the content to access the advanced functionalities and select "X-Ray" from the drop-down menu.
