## Arranging Toolbars

Toolbars can be moved to any new positions on the window background by dragging on their serrated left edge. When moving a toolbar into the top and bottom of the Audacity screen which will normally be occupied by other toolbars, a blue triangle will appear indicating an available docking position. All position changes are remembered in the next Audacity session. The default toolbar positions can be restored at any time by clicking View > Toolbars > Reset Toolbars
