Great plugin!!
Just what we needed!! Hopefully this plugin gets updated on a regular basis. Currently while writing not supported by the latest WP version 6.4.3 (but it works). Also maybe an improvement suggestion - for me i would have liked an option to make all buttons the same length. So they sit more evenly, but that is a personal preference. Great work !!!

Wish I could include an external post
Our site uses sub domains but I have no way to post a link to anything external.

Awesome Plugin
I manage many WordPress sites and it's often a pain to find a frequently used menu item buried within tons of options. I actually developed my own plugin for that reason (called Admin Menu Search), but even then I got tired of typing in the filter to find the menu item I wanted. I found this plugin by searching for "Admin Links" and after a little bit of setup, it's really handy!! Excellent plugin idea and very useful! Thank You!

Very good - Does exactly what it says!
Nice, simple plugin. Solved my problem. Could not find it when searching from within WordPress, but downloaded and installed and everything works. Thanks.

Just what I needed
This is my first plugin review. Plugins like AIOSEOP, Jetpack - why would I even bother rating them? But this little plugin is so simple, specific and handy, that I just can't help saying thank you to the author. I've got a couple of pages that I update almost daily, and I thought hey, on my dashboard there are a bunch of blocks I never use, why not put something useful there, like some direct page edit links. It would save me a couple minutes every single time. Hey, and there must be a plugin for this, right? ) And here it is ) Took me a couple of minutes to set up, works great. If you ever write another plugin like this one, let us know!
