AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site administrators and editors, especially on multi-author blogs, who need to check draft posts. It solves the problem of drafts being buried behind multiple clicks and manual URL editing by adding direct 'All Drafts' and 'My Drafts' links to the admin menu.

One-click 'All Drafts' menu link
One-click 'My Drafts' menu link
Draft count shown in link
Auto-hides redundant links for single authors
Restricted to users with edit capability
Hides links when no drafts exist
Filter dropdown by draft author
Multiple developer hooks/filters

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Quick Drafts Access

The "All Drafts" link is always hidden for users who are responsible for all drafts of a given post type, assuming the "My Drafts" link is configured to be displayed (which it is by default).

Like the Posts and Pages admin tables in WordPress, the default behavior of the plugin is to not show the drafts link if none are present for the post type since there isn't anything meaningful to link to. Bear in mind that the behavior can be overridden (see the Filters section).

Yes, which is why the plugin hides the "All Drafts" link when the "My Drafts" link is configured to be displayed (which it is by default) and the user is responsible for all of the drafts for a given post type.

Yes. The tests are not packaged in the release .zip file or included in plugins.svn.wordpress.org, but can be found in the plugin's GitHub repository.
