What’s new in version 2.2.9.4?

                We often come across a situation where we need to get details of any custom label (now supporting other metadata types as well like Validation Rule, Workflow Rule, Profile, Permission Set, Email Template, Field Set, Static Resource & User) in our Salesforce org, but then we need to browse through the multiple pages (problem gets worse when there are hundreds or thousands of custom labels defined in your org) or query in developer console or run a script in anonymous window. But all these processes need a lot of clicks and time. 
This extension resolves this problem by helping us in accessing any custom label from every page in the logged in Salesforce org in just one click. That's it. :) Now its supports retrieving data as well.
