This plugin restores the screen options for selecting a multi-column layout on the main administration dashboard, a feature present in the software from version 3.8 onward. It is for site administrators who prefer to organize their dashboard widgets across multiple columns for better visibility and workflow.

• Multi-Column Layouts: Select a one, two, three, or four-column arrangement for the main dashboard from the 'Screen Options' tab.
• Selective Control: Use the provided add_dashboard_columns_enabled filter to enable or disable the plugin's functionality for specific users or sites within a network.
• Clean Deactivation: The plugin is designed to delete its specific layout metadata when it is removed, helping to keep the database clean.
• Admin-Only Loading: Scripts and styles are loaded only on relevant admin pages to avoid unnecessary performance impact on the front end of the site.
• Note on Compatibility: Based on available information, this plugin has not been officially tested with the three most recent major software releases. Users should verify compatibility with their current version before installation.
