The default JCE Plugins page within the JCE Administration Component provdes a list of all installed commands and plugins. A command is an action performed by the wysiwyg editor when a button is pressed. Commands are all part of the editor core and cannot be added to or completely removed. An example of a command is 'Bold'.
A plugin is an additional, optional function designed to extended the basic functionality of the editor. JCE comes with a number of core, re-installed plugins that cannot be removed, such as the Table plugin. Some plugins have configuration options.
Both commands and plugins can be published / unpublished and can have an access level set for them.

Columns
#: This is simply an indexing number automatically inserted by Joomla! for ease of reference. It has no particular bearing on the use of the Mambot Manager.
Check Box: The column of check boxes are the means by which individual Mambots are selected before clicking one of the appropriate icons in the Toolbar. Single Items can also be opened, for editing, by clicking upon the Title of the Mambot.
A  padlock icon will replace the Check Box if the item is checked-out. This means the Plugin is unavailable to other administrators. This can be either you have already checked-out the item or someone else has. If you have checked-out the item, click the Plugin Name to go to the Edit screen (if the Plugin is able to be edited). You can then either continue editing the Plugin, or click the Save, or the Cancel icon to check-in the Plugin.
If this Plugin has been checked out by another administrator, contact the Super Administrator of the site for them to perform a Global Check-in if appropriate.
This will close all open Items for the whole web site not just the single item currently under review. Any Content of other Users not already Saved will be lost.
Name: This is the name of the Plugin / Command.
Published: The icons in this column identify the current publication status of a particular Plugin / Command, as follows
- The
 Published icon identifies that a item is published. Clicking this icon will unpublish the item.
- The
 Unpublished icon identifies that the item is unpublished. Clicking this icon will publish the item.
Row: This number indicates the row in the editor layout where the plugin / command is situated. This can be changed using the Layout Editor.
Order: This number indicates the position the plugin / command is situated on the row specifed in the Row column. This can be changed using the Layout Editor.

Core: Indicates whether the plugin / command is part of the Editor Mambot core (Yes) or is an installed plugin (No).
Type: Specifies whether the item is a Command or Plugin.

Plugin/Command: The actual ciommand used to access the plugin/command, or the 'system name' of the item. This also relates to the name of the plugin folder.
Filters:
Select Type: This filter enables the display to be filtered to show only either all Plugins or all Commands.
Filter: The filter field allows a word or partial word to be entered and the displayed list would reflect this, only showing those items that matched the filter word in full, or in part, in the item name entered for each item at the time of installation or activation.
