Customizing the Quick Access Toolbar - 17.1

The Quick Access Toolbar contains frequently used commands that, like the Application menu, apply to the Control Center session. You can customize the toolbar by adding or deleting commands or by repositioning it.

Note the following:

• The Quick Access Toolbar retains all changes and customizations you make during a session. If you make any changes and then close the session, the changes will be available when you begin a new Control Center session.
• When you open a List View or Icon View, the menu items available on the corresponding Command tabs are added to the Quick Access Toolbar drop-down list, and are available until you close the List or Icon View. This allows you to access these options regardless of which Command set tab is active.
