+
+# Controls
+
+Leaflet controls are UI elements anchored to the corners of a map (zoom, scale,
+custom buttons, etc.). Folium exposes a generic `Control` class that can render
+any `L.Control.<Name>` class. This is useful when you want to wire up a Leaflet
+plugin directly in user code without creating a new `folium.plugins` class.
+
+## Built-in controls
+
+```{code-cell} ipython3
+m = folium.Map(location=[45, 0], zoom_start=4, zoom_control=False)
+
+Control("Zoom", position="topleft").add_to(m)
+Control("Scale", position="bottomleft").add_to(m)
+
+m
+```
+
+## Leaflet plugin controls
+
+If a Leaflet plugin exposes a `L.Control.<Name>` class, you can wire it up
+directly and attach its JS/CSS assets to the map.
+
+```{code-cell} ipython3
+import folium
+from folium.features import Control
+
+m = folium.Map(location=[45, 0], zoom_start=4)
+
+control = Control(
+    "fullscreen",  
+    position="topright",
+    # Any plugin options become JS options.
+    title="View Fullscreen",
+    titleCancel="Exit Fullscreen",
+)
+
+# Add the plugin's JS/CSS assets.
+control.add_js_link(
+    "leaflet-fullscreen",
+    "https://unpkg.com/leaflet-fullscreen@1.6.0/dist/leaflet.fullscreen.umd.js",
+)
+control.add_css_link(
+    "leaflet-fullscreen",
+    "https://unpkg.com/leaflet.fullscreen@1.6.0/Control.FullScreen.css",
+)
+
+control.add_to(m)
+m
+```
+
+For reusable plugins, consider creating a dedicated `folium.plugins` class. For
+one-off integrations, `Control` keeps the wiring minimal.
