# Toolbar Quick Icons

The Toolbar is a quick and efficient way to do many simple tasks within PCGen without the need to click on any drop down menus.

The Toolbar Quick Icons are located below the menu names near the top left of the main PCGen Window.

The functions in order from left to right are as follows:

Click on the New icon to create a new character
To open a file from a folder select the Folder icon
Close the current character
Save the current character
Preview the current character in a browser
Print the current character
Create/Select filters for selected tab
Remove selected filters for selected tab
Customize the list of available filters
Create your own custom compound filters
Add Kits to your character
Open up the Settings-->Preferences dialog
Open GMGen, the game master aid
Help on current selection

The toolbar can be detached from the main window as a floating palette. To do this click the area just to the left of the group of icons and the toolbar will detach. While in this state the toolbar will remain in front of the main window. To redock the palette into the main window drag the floating palette to the area it once occupied untill it is highlighted in red, it will then reattach itself to the main window
