Toolbars

Use

Toolbars are sets of buttons that are used to access the tools relating to standard and module functionality. They can be resized, moved, floated, docked, and closed similar to the functionality in most Windows applications. They’re displayed as docked by default, and have a Windows-type interface. Individual toolbars can be shown or hidden. If a file includes functionality that relates to that toolbar, you can set each toolbar to display automatically.
