Customize Toolbars on Apple macOS
On Apple macOS, you can set up toolbars to display only the buttons that you need. Buttons are available based on the type of window. For example, in a script window, buttons for options such as reformatting, encrypting, and running the script are available. Table buttons are available for data table toolbars only.
You can specify whether the icon, icon and icon name, or just the name appear on the toolbar. Displaying small buttons is also an option.
To add, remove, or rearrange toolbar buttons
1. Open the type of window whose toolbar you want to customize.
2. Select View > Customize Toolbar.
A window appears that shows buttons that are relevant to the current type of window.
3. Perform any of the following actions:
– To add an icon to the toolbar, drag the icon from the window onto the toolbar.
– To move an icon on the toolbar, drag the icon to its new location onto the toolbar.
– To remove an icon from the toolbar, drag the icon from the toolbar onto the window.
Your changes are applied to the current window and all open windows of the same type.
