Help Manager

This is a simple but well executed plugin to add help docs to the admin area. Such a great tool for sites where the client will edit content. Thanks folks for your work on this! 100% recommended.

Super Helpful Plugin

Create documentation for the site's authors, editors, and contributors viewable in the WordPress admin and avoid repeated "how-to" questions.
