+Feature: #107906 - Recently opened documents widget
+===================================================
+
+See :issue:`107906`
+
+Description
+===========
+
+A new `Recently Opened Documents` dashboard widget has been introduced to
+display documents that are currently open or recently accessed in the
+TYPO3 backend. This allows editors and administrators to quickly return to
+their work and access frequently edited content without navigating through
+the page tree or search.
+
+The widget provides a configurable interface where users can set the number
+of documents to display, offering flexibility based on their workflow
+needs. Each document entry shows the record icon and title for easy
+identification and quick access.
+
+Key benefits:
+
+*   Displays recently opened documents with icons and titles
+*   Provides quick access to ongoing work without searching
+*   Offers configurable display limits for different workflow needs
+*   Shows document type icons for visual identification
+*   Improves editing efficiency by reducing navigation time
+*   Displays documents in reverse chronological order (most recent first)
+
+The widget retrieves documents from the FormEngine session data, ensuring
+that only currently open or recently accessed documents are displayed.
+Deleted records are filtered out to maintain data accuracy.
+
+Impact
+======
+
+This feature improves editorial efficiency by providing immediate access to
+recently opened documents in the dashboard interface, reducing
+the time spent navigating through the backend to resume work.
