# Mambot Manager

---- Draft 4.5.3

The Mambot Manager displays a list of the Mambots installed on your site.
Mambots are essentially code snippets which when called via various parameters either activate a program, script or perform a specific function. They can be as simple as a function which replaces typed text with code (such as typing to display an image in a content item) to full fledged third party libraries such as WYSIWYG editors or other programs.
[Detailed functions for default Mambots may be found here:
