Visual Editor Toolbar Reference

Summary

Use this page when you need to identify a toolbar control, understand which editing modes expose it, or confirm how a formatting or insert action behaves.

Mode legend

  • T = title mode
  • S = simple mode
  • N = standard mode
  • A = advanced mode

In title mode, the main toolbar has no standard action buttons. Only the title mode indicator is shown, and text selection exposes a minimal balloon (bold, italic).

  • If a tool is missing in your environment, your current mode or permissions may not allow it.
  • For mode overview visuals, see Visual Editor Technical Reference.
