The toolbar at the top of your main screen should look something like this:

Switching to different views in Worldox changes the toolbar. Depending on which type of file list is visible (e.g., email, Salvage Bin , a list of file versions), the button line-up changes. Which toolbar buttons you see depends on the actions possible on whatever file list is visible. 

The toolbar you see could be different, as buttons can be added, removed or reordered. Buttons can also be renamed. You yourself may have the rights to make such changes. So the choices shown above are commands most frequently used on this main toolbar. You may not see all these buttons on your toolbar.

Tip: There are many other commands in Worldox— too any to fit on one toolbar. All commands are accessible via pull-down and right-click menus.
