# Quick access toolbar

Customize the Remote Desktop Manager Quick access toolbar by pinning ribbon and menu commands for faster access to frequently used actions.

The ***Quick access toolbar*** is a small, customizable bar in the [Top pane](/rdm/user-interface/top-pane.md) that keeps frequently used commands one click away. It is available in the ***Ribbon*** and ***Menu bar*** [header styles](/rdm/user-interface/ui-customization/style.md). It is not displayed in the ***Toolbar*** style, which replaces it.

## Default commands

By default, the ***Quick access toolbar*** includes the following commands. A command is hidden when it does not apply to the current workspace.

* ***Add entry***: Create a new entry.
* ***Properties***: Open the properties of the selected entry.
* ***Refresh***: Refresh the workspace.
* ***Search***: Open the search.
* ***Back*** and ***Forward***: Move between previously viewed tabs.
* ***Quick connect***: Start an ad hoc session without creating an entry. For more information, see [Quick connect](/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/view/quick-connect.md). Shown only when Quick connect is available.
* ***Lock application***: Lock Remote Desktop Manager.

## Customize the Quick access toolbar

### Pin a command

Right-click a command in the ribbon or in the menu bar, then select ***Pin to Quick Access***. To remove it, right-click the same command again and select ***Remove from Quick Access***.

### Show or hide commands

Click the arrow at the end of the ***Quick access toolbar*** (***Customize Quick Access Toolbar***). The menu lists the default commands and the commands you pinned. Select a command to show or hide it.

### Move the toolbar

By default, the toolbar is displayed above the ribbon or menu bar. To display it below, click the arrow at the end of the toolbar and select ***Below***. Select ***Below*** again to move it back.

{% hint style="info" %}
The ***Quick access toolbar*** layout is saved in your local application settings, so each user has their own layout.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/user-interface/top-pane/quick-access-toolbar.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
