A new experimental WordPress feature plugin called the Presence API adds a system-wide awareness layer to the WordPress admin, showing who is logged in, which admin screens they are on, and which posts they are actively editing. It introduces dashboard widgets ('Who's Online' and 'Active Posts'), an admin bar online indicator with avatar stacks, a post list 'Editors' column, a Users list 'Online' filter, REST endpoints, WP-CLI commands, and a post-lock bridge. Data is stored in a dedicated ephemeral table with a 60-second TTL and flows through the existing Heartbeat API. The plugin can be tested in WordPress Playground with 5- or 40-user blueprints. It is experimental and community feedback is being solicited.

<p>Very helpful if you are a team or wants to monitor who are currently working on the WordPress admin. I will definitely use this if the needs arises.</p>
