This feature has proven particularly valuable for users managing client websites. When working across multiple posts and switching between frontend and backend, Quick View provides instant access to your recent activities, saving precious time in your workflow.
The Quick View feature is a new feature that adds the last entries to the admin bar. Just activate experimental features in the settings and then – on any page! – hover your mouse over the “History” item in the admin bar to see a quick view of the latest log entries.
This makes it easy to quickly see what’s happening on the site, without the need to switch to the history feed page in a new tab or moving to a new page and then going back again. It’s a great way to keep track what other admins or users on a website is doing. Or just to remember what you have done yourself.
Also, for performance reasons the log is not loaded until a user moves the cursor over the history item in the admin bar. So even if the shortcut to the history is added to all pages, there is no overhead due to loading the history or anything like that. All your pages will be a snappy as they were before.
This new log view is also reachable from the frontend of a website, so you can browse your site and at any moment easily and quickly see what’s going on in the admin area:
