    15 This lightweight plugin allows user to create a Dashboard widget with frequently accessed wp-admin menu for quick access.
     17I originally developed this plugin after spending hours creating client/user documentation for every WordPress project. Instead of writing step-by-step navigation documentation, I used this plugin to organise all necessary links on the single widget for non-technical users. As a developer, I also use this script myself to organise frequently accessed links for quick access.
