By default the Toolbar is located at the top of the GeoGebra window or right below the Menubar (GeoGebra Desktop). The Toolbar is divided into Toolboxes, containing one or more related Tools.

Tool Help

If you select a Tool, a tooltip appears explaining how to use this Tool.

Note: When you click on the tooltip in the Download-icons-device-tablet.png GeoGebra Web and Tablet Apps, a web page providing help for the selected tool opens in your browser.


If you are using Download-icons-device-screen.png GeoGebra Desktop, click on the Help.png Help button in the upper right corner of the GeoGebra window in order to show the Tool Help Dialog and get more information about how to use the selected Tool. Furthermore, you can access the online help by clicking on the button Show Online Help provided in the Tool Help Dialog. In addition, you can display the Toolbar Help to the right of the Toolbar by using the Menu-perspectives.svg Layout option in the Menu-view.svg View Menu and checking Show Toolbar Help.

Different Toolbars for Different Views

Each View except the Algebra View has its own Toolbar, providing Tools specific for the View you are working with.

Once you start using another View within the GeoGebra window, the Toolbar changes automatically. If you open another View in a separate window, it will have its Toolbar attached.

Customizing the Toolbar

Creating a Custom Toolbar

The different Toolbars can be customized by selecting Customize Toolbar… from the Menu-tools.svg Tools Menu.

  • From the drop-down list select the Toolbar of the View you want to edit.
  • To remove a Tool or entire Toolbox from the custom Toolbar, select it in the list on the left hand side of the appearing dialog window and click the button Remove >.
  • To add a Tool to your custom Toolbar, select it in the right list and click the button < Insert.
  • To add a Tool to a new Toolbox, select a Toolbox in the left list and the Tool you want to insert in the right list. Then, click < Insert. Your Tool is inserted as part of a new Toolbox below the selected Toolbox.
  • To add a Tool to an existing Toolbox, open the Toolbox in the left list and select the Tool above the desired position of the new Tool. Then, select the Tool from the right list and click < Insert.
