## Апісанне

WhyKeep Notes helps developers and site administrators preserve the context behind
a WordPress website.

Document why a plugin is installed, record important technical decisions, leave 
maintenance instructions, and keep information that you or the next developer may
need later.

**WordPress tells you what is installed. WhyKeep Notes tells you why it is there.**

WhyKeep Notes lets you:

 * Create private internal notes inside WordPress admin.
 * Attach notes directly to installed plugins.
 * Leave general notes about the website, configuration, maintenance, or technical
   decisions.
 * Mark important notes so critical information is easy to find.
 * Organize notes with categories.
 * Search and filter your documentation.
 * Create, view, edit, and delete plugin notes in a modal on the Plugins screen.
 * Use Tools > WhyKeep Notes for the full timeline and management workflow.
 * Preserve plugin notes even when the related plugin is no longer installed.

WhyKeep Notes is designed for developers, freelancers, agencies, and site administrators
who want to leave useful context behind instead of relying on memory.

#### Privacy and external services

WhyKeep Notes works completely inside your WordPress installation.

It does not:

 * Send data to external services.
 * Include telemetry or tracking.
 * Display advertising.
 * Load anything on the frontend.
 * Require an external account.

## Часта задаваныя пытанні

### Who can access WhyKeep Notes?

Only users with the `manage_options` capability can access WhyKeep Notes. WordPress
administrators have this capability by default.

### Can visitors see my notes?

No. WhyKeep Notes is an administrator-only tool. Notes are not displayed on the 
frontend of your website.

### Can I manage notes without leaving the Plugins screen?

Yes. Select WhyKeep Note or Notes (N) beside an installed plugin to create, view,
edit, or delete its notes in a modal. The full notes page under Tools remains available.

### What happens if a related plugin is removed?

The note is preserved together with the plugin’s last known name, so important historical
context is not lost.

### What happens when WhyKeep Notes is deactivated?

Your notes are preserved and become available again when the plugin is reactivated.

### What happens when WhyKeep Notes is uninstalled?

WhyKeep Notes currently preserves its database table and notes after uninstalling.
Uninstalling does not automatically delete stored notes.

### Where are dates stored?

Dates are stored in GMT and displayed using your WordPress timezone and date/time
settings.

A clean way to keep internal notes and context inside WordPress. Especially useful
for client sites where you need to remember why a plugin, setting, or technical 
decision exists. Easy to use and nicely integrated into the admin area.
