The Lite version is intentionally simple and lightweight. #### Lite features * Select one post type from the settings screen. * Add one custom column to the post list screen. * Choose from taxonomies and detected custom fields. * Automatically fill the column label when a source is selected. * Enable or disable sorting. * Enable numeric formatting for values. * Enable inline editing for the selected column. * Save changes from the post list screen. #### Pro version notice The Pro version is planned to include multiple columns, bulk editing, status editing, autosave, category count links, multiple post type management, and advanced column settings. ## Screenshots [⌊Settings screen.⌉⌊Settings screen.⌉[ Settings screen.
