Private and shared administrator notes in the Joomla! back-end
With Quick Admin Notes Pro, all administrators can easily add shared and private notes on every page in the administration area. All back-end users can access and modify the shared note. The private note is not shared between other users and is only visible to the user who enters the note.
All notes are stored encrypted using the Crypto class into the database. It's also possible to save the notes in clear text, but this is not recommended and should only be used in cases where encryption is impossible.
The plugin transfers the entered data using Ajax requests. The user does not have to leave the currently opened page to update the notes and can continue working afterwards.

Changelog
Latest release
Version 5.1.0.0-PRO - 2024-04-18
- + Subscriber Interface: The plugin has been rewritten to utilise the subscriber interface, enhancing its integration and performance capabilities.
- + Added Encrypt private notes with user keys option. With this option, the private note is encrypted with the user's encryption key. This process guarantees that only users can decrypt the notes with a key explicitly created for their account. On the other hand, the shared note is always encrypted with the global encryption key.
Important: Existing notes will become illegible when the option is changed during ongoing operation.
