Structure Editor : User Interface : Tool-bar

 

The tool-bar provides single access for commonly used operations. The toolbar can be dragged off to a floating bar (to dock just press the close button). Instant help for any button can be obtained simply by hovering the mouse over it until a tool-tip "bubble" appears describing its purpose.
