Toolbar

A Single toolbar operates in two different modes - one for template design (Design mode) and one for testing (Run mode).

In addition, the Viz Indicator on the toolbar shows Template Wizard’s connection status to Viz Engine.

The Run/Design button toggles the two modes:

  • Design (F9): Switches to Design Mode. This mode is the default mode.

Note: Toggle the run and design modes by using the F9 key.
