Main Toolbar
The main toolbar, sometimes called the workbench toolbar, is displayed at the top of the Workbench window directly beneath the menu bar. Note: Buttons on the main toolbar change based on the active perspective. Items in the toolbar might also be enabled or disabled based on the state of either the active view or editor. Sections of the main toolbar can be rearranged using the mouse. The figure below shows available toolbar buttons in the Composer perspective when a callflow diagram is selected.
Toolbar Buttons
The table below identifies buttons that can appear on the toolbar.

Turn Grammar Constraints Off
When editing an XML file that has a set of constraints or rules defined by a DTD or an XML schema, you can turn the constraints on and off to provide flexibility in the way you edit, but still maintain the validity of the document periodically. When the constraints are turned on, and you are working in the Design view, the XML editor prevents you from inserting elements, attributes, or attribute values not permitted by the rules of the XML schema or DTD, and from removing necessary or predefined sets of tags and values. | |
Reload Dependencies
If you make changes to a DTD file or XML schema associated with an XML file (that is currently open), click to update the XML file with these changes. The changes will be reflected in the guided editing mechanisms available in the editor, such as content assist. | |
