Since the fantastic Simple Documentation by Mathieu Hays hasn't been maintained in 2 years, this plugin has stepped in to take up the slack. It's simple but powerful for adding developer documentation to multiple sites easily. It allows you to add documentation to specific pages (including custom post type pages) as well as maintain a central documentation list for the client. Highly recommended for developers to use.

The best plugin for documentation. Highly recommended if you want to add help boxes on pages for admins that don't know what they are doing. Also having a dedicated help section with instructions is very useful. Very cool that I get to change the name and colors, too! I am able to eliminate a lot of repetitive questions. I can also use it for notices when I need to alert my team before they make important changes to the site. And there are no premium options that you don't have access to; it is completely free! Kudos!
