Admin Columns works by allowing website admins to customize the columns show in their content. This is especially helpful in sites with lots of information like blogs, eCommerce stores, and other sites that need to be managed from an admin dashboard. While WordPress already provides some column options on the admin pages for posts, pages, categories, and others, these are often not enough and not customizable. Admin Columns allows users to choose and customize which columns appear on their admin dashboards, making it easy to manage information quickly and easily.

Admin Columns also works with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), allowing users to add custom columns so they can add and customize data from custom fields. Admin Columns also integrates well with WooCommerce and other eCommerce stores, so users can add columns to the WooCommerce order page such as order status, order notes, and payment information. Additionally, it is also compatible with almost any WordPress plugin.

In terms of usability, Admin Columns provides useful tools like sorting, searching, and filtering for easy navigation. It also comes with a powerful drag and drop feature, so users can reorder and resize columns in the blink of an eye. The plugin also includes conditional column labels, which can be used to show different information depending on the conditions.

Admin Columns also has a robust settings section where users can easily set preferences to suit their workflow. It includes settings such as quick edit, inline editing, auto-widths, and more.

Finally, Admin Columns has a wide range of features and options. Users can easily customize column widths, display different content types, and display images in the columns. It also has helpful export functions so users can export the results for further analysis.
