HTML Editor Toolbar Editor

The Toolbar Editor for the HTML Editor allows you to change the tools available in the toolbar. You can use the Toolbar Editor to create a new toolbar, or to modify an existing one. Because you can save multiple toolbars and select the one you prefer to use, you can safely try different toolbar configurations on a copy without losing a toolbar that works for you.

Each store theme has its own style and layout settings which will influence the look of whatever content you enter using the HTML Editor. Because of this, you may find that some tools aren't useful. There are other tools, however, which you will find yourself using again and again. The Toolbar Editor not only allows you to decide which tools to display in the toolbar, it lets you determine the order they will display in. You can also create different separators between sections of the toolbar.

An easy way to get a feel for the Toolbar Editor is to make a copy of the built-in Basic toolbar and use that as a starting point. The default toolbar already has many of the tools you are most likely to use, and you can modify it to your taste.

Using the Toolbar Editor

Select the toolbar you want to edit from the Toolbars drop-down list on the HTML Editor Configuration screen, then click Edit. The selected toolbar will be loaded into the Toolbar Editor, which will open in a pop-up window.

The Toolbar Editor allows you to add, remove, and re-organize the tools that will be included in the selected toolbar, as well as set some general toolbar options. At the top of the editor window are the general toolbar settings:

Toolbar Name Read-only. The name of the toolbar you are editing. To change the name of the toolbar, return to the HTML Editor Configuration screen and select the Rename option.
Skin Select the visual appearance you want your toolbar to have. Each skin has a unique look to the buttons in the toolbar, allowing you to pick a look that suits your preference.
Collapsible Select whether or not you want to make your toolbar collapsible. Collapsing the toolbar hides the tools at the top of the editor box so you have more room to see what you're editing. You can expand the toolbar to display and use the tools when you want it.

Toolbar Buttons

The list boxes and buttons allow you to add, remove, or reorganize the tool buttons included on the selected row of the toolbar. The toolbar editor remembers tools you select, either by clicking on the tool name in the Editor Buttons list, or by clicking on a tool name in the Toolbar Row list and clicking the Remove button. You can then insert the remembered tool to the Toolbar Row list by clicking on the name of the tool you want to appear immediately before the tool you are inserting, or clicking the Add button to append the remembered tool at the end of the list. You can
Editor Buttons Click the name of a tool in this list to remember the tool you selected. Available tools are sorted by category.

Remove Select a tool name from the Toolbar Row list box, then click this button to remember the tool and remove it from the list.

Move Up Select a tool name from the Toolbar Row list box, then click this button to move the tool one position up the list.

When you have finished modifying your toolbar, click Save to save your settings and close the pop-up window, or click Cancel to abandon your changes. After you close the pop-up window, you can continue configuring the HTML Editor.
