# Customize the toolbar

> Learn how to change the visibility and placement of controls in the toolbar.

The toolbar contains controls that you can use to access specific Unity functionalities that affect the project, Editor state, or configuration. You can hide any control in the toolbar, change its position, and save the appearance of the toolbar as a [preset](/engine/6000.7/manual/assets-and-media/presets.md).


**The Toolbar appears at the top of the Editor:**
