AutoCAD 2015 File Tab Options

To access multiple files in AutoCAD 2015, the AutoCAD 2015 File Tab Options,Menus can be used.
In AutoCAD 2015, the AutoCAD 2015 File Tab Options helps a user to access multiple drawing files simultaneously.
This is displayed just below the ribbon bar menu or pull down menu as shown below.

                                                                                                                                  Blue color indicates that the file tabs option  is already switched on.

 

Option turned on from the command prompt is as below.

Type options in the command prompt and we get the options dialogue box as shown.

Usually File tabs are displayed in the order they are opened. However we can easily change the order of the File tabs by dragging and dropping the file tabs wherever required. Whenever if we run out of space, an overflow symbol (menu) will appear at the right as indicated below.

The Menus in the AutoCAD 2015 File Tab Options we get when right clicked on it appears as follows:

This indicates that the file has been modified but not saved since from its last save.

I want to add the plot command to the "File Tab" right button click dialog. Where do I find this menu in the customization dialog?
