# 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

> Click on the New NPC icon to open the NPC generator to create a new random 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
