Web Part Management

There are times we want to manage Web parts on a SharePoint page but could not use "Edit Page" option, such as unhandled exception occurs in code and an error page is shown. In this case we normally use the Web part management page. SharePoint usually provides this link on the error page, but sometimes doesn't. So remembering the page will be helpful.

This is an application page called SPContnt.aspx. It takes one parameter url in the query string. So It would look something like

http://server/site/_layouts/spcontnt.aspx?url=http://server/site/default.aspx

This brings you to a page that will allow you to Close, Reset, and Delete Web Parts from the page.
