Structure Manager buttons and icons

You can add buttons that are not displayed on the main toolbar by right-clicking the toolbar, choosing Customize, and selecting the buttons you want to add. Once you have added buttons to the toolbars, they are displayed in future sessions. Consider adding buttons that:

• You use frequently.
• Provide a shortcut to menu commands that are not primary selections, for example, Tools→Revision Rule→Set Date/Unit/End Item.
• Show current status, for example, incremental change configuration options.
