## Toolbar

The toolbar includes a **pen**, **highlighter**, and **eraser** and other tools like shapes, etc.

You can drag it around anywhere on your screen by grabbing the six dots handle at the top. To reposition it, simply move it left or right. If you hold **Shift** while dragging, you can snap it to the edge without it switching into a horizontal layout.
