You can create, edit, and place commands in the user interface.
Commands are created and managed in the Command List pane of the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor. You can create new commands from scratch, copy existing commands to create a new command, or edit the properties of an existing command. When a command is added to a user interface element, a reference to the command is created. Then, if you make changes to the command, the changes are reflected everywhere the command is referenced within the CUIx file.
