About Toolbar Publish Button

This plugin adds a duplicate button to the top WordPress admin bar, making it easier to save changes without scrolling. It works with various types of content and has options to customize its functionality, such as keeping the scrollbar position and choosing which buttons to show. It does not affect any native WordPress functionality.
