          An often overlooked benefit of it, is it's capability to browse any Sitecore Item structure. While obvious, many people don't consider that an Item needs to inherit a lot of fields/base templates for the Content Editor to be able to navigate them properly. Security, Workflow, Item Statistics and so on.



          The DBBrowser tool needs none of that. It just allows you to browse the item parent/child hierarchy and shows you what it finds.

            A quick way to browse through the separate Sitecore databases. It is pretty lightweight and supports previewing of item’s fields, versions, languages etc. The DB Browser also allows preview of the file system.
