The structure toolbar provides access to the main functions of the structure widget.

As you move mouse pointer over the buttons in the toolbar, the active buttons are highlighted. In some situations some buttons may be disabled and they will remain light grey. For example, Paste action is not possible unless you have some issues in your clipboard, so the button will remain light grey and not clickable in that case.

Hold the mouse pointer over the toolbar button for a few moments and a tooltip with the description of the action is shown.

Below is the table describing the set of actions available through the toolbar.
