Toolbar Icons
Icons in the toolbar are shortcuts for various commands, most of which are also available as menu commands. You can make any toolbars visible/invisible using the Toolbars tab of the Customize dialog (Tools | Customize). To move a toolbar, drag its handle to the desired location. The available toolbars are described below.
Standard toolbar
The Standard toolbar (see screenshot below) contains file and general editing commands, which can also be accessed in the File, Edit, and XML menus.
Comparison toolbars
The Comparison Mode toolbar (see screenshot below) enables you to select a comparison mode for files and directories. This group of commands is available in the Diff and Merge menu.
The Diff and Merge toolbar (see screenshot below) enables you to start comparisons, navigate through differences between files, merge differences, and set application and comparison options. All these commands are available in the Diff and Merge menu and in the Tools menu.
The Directory Content toolbar (see screenshot below) enables you to configure the display of Directory Comparison windows. Note that—except for the directory synchronization commands, which are included in the Diff and Merge menu—these commands are available only as toolbar buttons.

The Text toolbar (see screenshot below) enables you to configure the display and navigation features of Text View. All these commands are available as Text View menu commands.
Icons in the Grid Edit toolbar (see screenshot below) are used for editing in Grid View. For information about these commands, see Grid View Menu. This toolbar is deactivated by default.
