On this tab you can customize the appearance of the Ribbon (AutoCAD, Revit) and the Floating menu (AutoCAD). The tab contains two fields:

Menu for: [Autodesk product]

For Revit - Plugins can be added in a special panel (2 or 3 plugin). Inserting a group into the panel allows you to make buttons on a ribbon of a small size.

To the right of the list are the buttons for creating a new group or panel. Location of plugins is done by dragging them with the mouse.
