+== Adding a toolbar button to a custom plugin
+
+Use `+editor.ui.registry.addButton+` to add a toolbar button and `+editor.addCommand+` to define the action. Register both inside the plugin callback passed to `+PluginManager.add()+`:
+
+[source,js]
+----
+tinymce.PluginManager.add('myplugin', (editor, url) => {
+  editor.addCommand('myCommand', () => {
+    editor.insertContent('&nbsp;<strong>Inserted content</strong>&nbsp;');
+  });
+
+  editor.ui.registry.addButton('mybutton', {
+    text: 'My Button',
+    onAction: () => editor.execCommand('myCommand')
+  });
+
+  return {
+    getMetadata: () => ({
+      name: 'My plugin',
+      url: 'https://example.com/docs'
+    })
+  };
+});
+----
+
+Then include the plugin and button in the editor configuration:
+
+[source,js]
+----
+tinymce.init({
+  selector: 'textarea',
+  plugins: 'myplugin',
+  toolbar: 'mybutton',
+  external_plugins: {
+    myplugin: '/path/to/myplugin.js'
