The Toolbar

The Toolbar provides tools specific to your phase of work, tools for cloud collaboration, as well as common tools that you will use across many phases of work.

Project Tools on the left side of the toolbar provide a set of planning, design, analysis and presentation tools appropriate for the phase of work being done in the model. Utilities on the right side of the toolbar provide further tools you will use across all phases of your work, for measurement, performance, view settings, bookmarks, collaboration options, application options, and account administration.
