Arranging Toolbars
Toolbars can be located in two areas of the Audacity project window: either above the Timeline, or below the tracks (the Selection Toolbar is in this location by default). Toolbars can be docked at any position in the toolbar areas by dragging on their serrated left edge. When moving a toolbar into a toolbar areas, a blue triangle will appear indicating an available docking position. All position changes are remembered in the next Audacity session. The default toolbar positions can be restored at any time by clicking .
The images below show the Tools toolbar being docked to the right of the Transport toolbar.
