Show or hide related resources in SharePoint2010

SharePoint Site Content and Structure has great and useful functionality if you want to list down page/resource dependency and want to prevent breaking page while moving. Use this feature to determine the resources that are called by an item. Resources are any elements used by the page, including page layout, images, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), links from the page to other pages, links to the page from within the site collection, and links to or from this page. Identifying the related resources for an item is especially useful if, for example, you need to delete an image. By determining the dependencies for that image, you can update the links or resources as necessary.

This feature only shows the related resources for one item at a time.

To show related resources  

On the Site Content and Structure page, on the list toolbar, click Show Related Resources.
The Resources Related To pane is displayed.

To hide related resources  
On the Site Content and Structure page, on the list toolbar, click Hide Related Resources.
The Resources Related To pane is not displayed.
