Sometimes you have a certain widget configuration that you need to use over-and-over again. 
Widget Favorites provides a way to save a widget instance by name to identify it later 
when loading the favorited widget instance into another widget.
Another way to look at this plugin is that it provides (non-automatic) revisions for widgets.
Note that this only adds functionality to widgets managed in the Customizer.

This plugin allows you to include a list of revisions when viewing a list of posts, pages, or custom post types in the admin dashboard. It can be configured 
to limit the number of revisions shown, the post types it is enabled for, and a prefix & suffix to wrap around the revision title to offset it from the rest of the list.
