The Toolbar

The toolbar is close to the top of the main window. You can see what each button does by holding your cursor over it for a second or so. Each button on the toolbar is a shortcut to a menu item except the update button. These buttons are simply an easy and direct path to their functions rather than having to go through several different menus or dialog windows to access these same functions.

Here are all the buttons found on the Toolbar:
