# Table Features for Site Visitors

TablePress can add features like sorting, pagination (with length change feature),
scrolling, and filtering/searching to a table. To enable those, check the corresponding
checkboxes on the table’s “Edit” screen.

Even more features for your site’s visitors are available in the [Premium features](https://tablepress.org/modules/)
that come with a [TablePress Premium plan](https://tablepress.org/pricing/).

You may decide for each table individually whether you want to use the “Table Features
for Site Visitors” for it (see the [Table Options](https://tablepress.org/faq/documentation-table-options/)
page for more), and you can select the desired features individually.

You can add custom commands or configuration parameters into the “Custom Commands”
text field. These need to follow the [DataTables Documentation](https://datatables.net/).
You can also use certain Plugin Hooks in a custom plugin to add your own commands.
