These buttons include core options such as ReadMore, Pagebreak, Image, Article etc. (many of which are already features of JCE Editor) and buttons added by installed extensions to accomplish various editor related tasks for those extensions. If these buttons are not required, setting this option to No will remove them from the layout.
