Toolbar Extras for MainWP Dashboard – Manage WordPress Websites Even Faster

Managing Websites with MainWP? Your work will get easier & faster with this Toolbar Extras Add-On. Extension support baked right in.

Update Brief

Your client opens their monthly maintenance report and sees “WooCommerce updated from 10.4.3 to 10.5.3.” That tells them very litle. It doesn’t explain the security fix that prevented guest orders being read without authorisation, the REST API caching improvements that speed up their store, or the new Point of Sale product visibility controls they now have access to.
A simple list of plugin names and version numbers makes your maintenance work invisible. Your clients don’t understand what you did, they can’t see why it matters, and when it comes time to renew, they question whether they’re getting value for money.
Update Brief for MainWP changes that.
Update Brief for MainWP is an extension that enhances simple version update lists in your MainWP Pro Reports with concise, professionally written summaries that explain what each update actually did — the new features, the security patches, the critical bug fixes. Your clients finally see the full picture of the work you’re doing on their behalf.
Try it free for 14 days — no payment required. Start your free trial at <a href="https://updatebrief.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Update Brief</a>.
<h3>Why Update Brief?</h3>
Show clients your value. Your clients are paying for ongoing maintenance and updates. Our update summaries turn every client report into proof that your services improve and secure their website — not just a list of updated version numbers.
Increase trust. You told your clients that an ongoing maintenance plan was essential for their website’s success. Update Brief demonstrates exactly why, with clear explanations of security patches, performance improvements, and feature additions in every report.
Grow your business. When clients understand the value of your maintenance and update work, they renew. When they trust your expertise, they refer others. Update Brief helps you build the recurring revenue that sustains a WordPress care and maintenance business.
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<ol>
<li>Install Update Brief for MainWP alongside your MainWP Dashboard and Pro Reports extension</li>
<li>Add your MainWP API key and Update Brief API key in the settings</li>
<li>Generate your client reports as normal</li>
<li>Your client reports now include clear, concise summaries instead of just version numbers — showing your clients exactly what each update delivered</li>
</ol>
<h3>Coverage</h3>
60,000+ WordPress plugins — Update Brief provides summaries for the vast majority of the WordPress plugin ecosystem, including the free plugins listed on the WordPress.org repository.
Popular premium plugins — Update Brief also provides summaries for widely-used premium plugins including Gravity Forms, Elementor Pro, MemberPress, WooCommerce Bookings, WooCommerce Subscriptions, WP Rocket, and many others.
WordPress Core updates — Update Brief provides full summaries for both major and minor WordPress core version updates, covering new features, security patches, and bug fixes.
Multi-version summaries — If you update a plugin across multiple versions at once — say WooCommerce from 10.4.3 to 10.5.3 — Update Brief combines the key changes from all intermediate releases into a single, easy-to-read summary. No gaps, no duplication.
<h3>Requirements</h3>
Update Brief for MainWP requires the MainWP Dashboard plugin and the MainWP Pro Reports extension to be installed and activated.
A subscription is required to access the Update Brief API. There is a 14-day free trial available for all new <a href="https://updatebrief.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Update Brief</a> customers — no payment is taken during the trial, and you can cancel at any time.
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to an API to obtain the brief update summaries for WordPress plugins and core updates. This API connection is required to show the brief update summaries in the MainWP client reports.
For plugin updates, the API request will send the plugin slug, the old and the updated version of the plugin, along with the Update Brief API token. 
For WordPress core updates, the API request will send the old and the updated version of WordPress, along with the Update Brief API token.
