On macOS, you can set up toolbars to display only the icons that you need. Icons are available based on the type of window. For example, in a script window, icons for options such as reformatting, encrypting, and running the script are available. Table icons are available only for data table toolbars.
You can specify whether the icon, icon and icon name, or just the name appear on the toolbar. Displaying small icons is also an option.
To add, remove, or rearrange toolbar icons
1. Open the type of window whose toolbar you want to customize.
2. Select View > Customize Toolbar.
A window appears that shows icons relevant to the current type of window.
3. Do any of the following:
– 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.
