22 Origin Toolbars
This is a list of Origin toolbars, and buttons by button group. Toolbars are shown in their default configurations. You will note that some buttons are missing from default toolbar configurations. This may be because a button has been deprecated, because it is duplicated on another toolbar, or simply because it is a lesser-used button.
To add or remove buttons from a toolbar:
- Click View: Toolbars to open the Customize dialog box.
- Click on the Button Groups tab and drag desired buttons to a toolbar or to an empty portion of the workspace.
- To remove a button/toolbar, drag it from the toolbar back to the Buttons list or click the small "x" in the upper right-corner of the toolbar (removes entire toolbar from the workspace).
Note also that some toolbar buttons have a small downward pointing arrow next to them. Clicking the tool displayed on these "split buttons" carries out the action associated with the displayed tool. Clicking the arrow beside it opens a menu, allowing you to pick another tool. A split button displays the tool that was last used.
To hide/show all toolbars in the Origin interface：
- Click View: Hide Toolbars menu
or
- Press the hotkey Ctrl+Alt+R
Finally, toolbar buttons will be inaccessible (dimmed) if the object that they act on is not active. For instance, the 3D-Rotation Toolbar is only available when a 3D graph is active.
| In addition to these dockable toolbars, Origin has context-sensitive Mini Toolbars for variety of common editing tasks. These toolbars are discussed in The chapter of this Guide. For a complete list of those toolbars, see the .

Folders and Windows
toolbar is added for working with Project Explorer folders and folder contents. It should be helpful when dealing with multiple project folders and when needing to compare windows in separate folders.
When first running Origin, you may see this toolbar "floating" in the Origin workspace. You can drag it (by the title bar) to an empty portion of the toolbar spacer; or you can choose View: Toolbars and click the Reinitialize button to reset toolbars to the standard configuration.
