Toolbar

The main window of Axon Ivy shows a toolbar with various buttons which is situated right below the menu bar of the application. This section explains the most important actions for Axon Ivy users that can be found on the toolbar.

Note

The number and activity state of the buttons that are shown in the toolbar depend on the current selection and the currently active editor. They may therefore slightly vary and not exactly correspond to the screenshot below.
