The plugin comes with different options to customize the Sidebars, Tabs, Panels 
and Setting controls.

your plugin or theme to create a sidebar with it’s settings.
 The new sidebar/s 
can be accessed in any post type where it was registered. Modify the setting values

This plugin is incredibly helpful in quickly allowing for meta tags to be added 
to the Gutenberg sidebar. A tedious task otherwise… This makes the task quick, efficient.
Excellent work.

Since I started using Gutenberg to build sites I’ve found this plugin essential 
in order to add meta info for CPTs. At one point I looked around for alternatives
but ended up finding none that could do everything this plugin does. Thank you!
