<p><strong>Collaborative Post Notes</strong> is a simple but powerful internal communication tool for WordPress teams.<br />
It adds a clean, threaded note system inside the post/page editor, allowing editors, authors, and content teams to communicate directly while working on content — with <strong>no external tools</strong> (Telegram, WhatsApp, etc.) needed.</p>
<p>This plugin improves your <strong>editorial workflow</strong>, reduces miscommunication, and keeps all discussions connected to the content they belong to.</p>
<h3>Why use Collaborative Post Notes?</h3>
<p>Managing content in a team often leads to scattered messages across multiple platforms.<br />
This plugin solves that problem by keeping all notes, replies, and discussions <strong>inside WordPress</strong>, right inside the editor.</p>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Instant AJAX notes</strong> — add notes without saving/updating the post</li>
<li><strong>Threaded (nested) notes</strong> — reply inside discussions like a mini comment system</li>
<li><strong>Resolve / unresolve notes</strong> — mark discussions as handled</li>
<li><strong>@mentions</strong> — mention teammates with autocomplete</li>
<li><strong>Email notifications</strong> — mentioned users receive an email with a link to the post</li>
<li><strong>Delete notes</strong> — authors can delete their own notes; editors can delete any note</li>
<li><strong>Custom post type support</strong> — enable notes on any public post type from Settings</li>
<li><strong>Internal-only</strong> — notes never appear on the frontend</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight</strong> — uses minimal database space, optimized for speed</li>
<li><strong>Auto-recorded username & timestamp</strong></li>
<li><strong>Block editor compatible</strong> — works in the WordPress block editor and WordPress 7</li>
</ul>
<h3>Ideal For:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Editorial teams</li>
<li>Multi-author blogs</li>
<li>News websites</li>
<li>Agencies with content workflows</li>
<li>SEO/content strategy teams</li>
<li>Anyone who collaborates inside WordPress</li>
</ul>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<ol>
<li>Open any supported post, page, or custom post type</li>
<li>Scroll to the <strong>Team Notes</strong> metabox</li>
<li>Add a top-level note or reply to existing ones</li>
<li>Mention teammates with <code>@username</code></li>
<li>Resolve notes when done</li>
<li>Notes save instantly via AJAX</li>
</ol>
<h3>Private & Secure</h3>
<p>These notes are <strong>not public, not accessible through template files</strong>, and never appear on the frontend.</p>
