<p>This plugin adds a list on the Plugins screen to display only the recent plugins, that means the active plugins and the recently active plugins.<br />
It also shows this list by default instead of all the plugins.<br />
It can be useful for developers that have many hundreds of inactive plugins on their development site. It will spare a few seconds every time you go on the Plugins screen.</p>

<p>Features</p>
<ul>
<li>Add as many or as few notes as you need for each plugin.</li>
<li>Edit or delete notes as desired.</li>
<li>Select an icon to go with each note to quickly convey what type of content it contains (e.g., info, warning, link, etc.)</li>
<li>Format notes using basic HTML tags if desired.</li>
<li>Any links included in the note will be automatically converted to <code>target="_blank"</code></li>
<li>Notes are added and updated via Ajax, avoiding slow page reloads.</li>

Plugin Notes Plus

Very useful plugin to note why a certain plugin was installed on the site and any additional context around it, for other admins. Helps in housekeeping especially when there are more than one admins that try different plugins and forget to remove anything that is not wanted.

Super useful plugin for multi-admin sites

Does one thing and does it well.

I was about to build something like this and was thrilled this plugin not only existed, but is very well done! Thank you!

Exactly What I Needed!
