Elementor Extras is an add-on for Elementor, so its widgets are stored inside the same _elementor_data JSON blob in wp_postmeta as core Elementor. There's no separate custom table, no separate post type. Auditing which pages use a particular Extras widget normally means opening each page in the editor and inspecting it, or running raw SQL against wp_postmeta.

SleekView reads wp_postmeta with a contains-text filter on _elementor_data for widget identifiers like extras-progress, extras-modal, or extras-image-comparison. That gives a real inventory of which pages use which Extras widget. Filter by author, last edited, and status to find drafts, stale layouts, or live pages that depend on Extras.

Inline edits to status, slug, and author write through the standard wp_update_post path so any other plugin hooks keep firing. The Elementor JSON layout stays untouched; only the post and postmeta fields around it change. CSV export of an audit slice gives an agency a clean deliverable showing exactly where Extras is used on a client site.

Elementor Extras is the kind of add-on that quietly ends up on dozens of pages over the course of a year. A modal here, a progress bar there, an image-comparison block on a landing page. None of those decisions are big at the time, but a few years in, an agency planning a redesign or a host migration needs to know exactly which pages still depend on the Extras widget set.

The default WordPress and Elementor admin screens cannot answer that question without opening every page. The Extras widget identifiers live inside the _elementor_data JSON blob in wp_postmeta, which means the data is there, just not surfaced. A queryable inventory turns the question into a saved view.

Filter to Extras-using pages, group by widget, sort by last edited, and the audit becomes a quarterly habit rather than a project. Agencies use the same grid for client handovers; in-house teams use it before retiring a deprecated widget or moving to a new builder. The cost of the audit drops to roughly the cost of opening the grid.
