#11.0 Toolbar and Preview
##About
The toolbar is where report designers can see how their reports will look, save and create reports, and get technical readings of the report before the report is published for view. Many of its features can be turned on or off via the AdHocSettings class properties.
The preview tab is where report designers will see how their report is generated and what it will appear like visually in the report viewer before publishing it. Report designers may freely explore the various settings easily because of this.

##11.1 Modifying the Toolbar Through the API
The toolbar represents a set of controls (mainly buttons) that allow users quick access to various reporting features while designing a report. The AdHoc platform provides a set of classes that allows you to construct a completely customized toolbar for the report designer. You can get a list of all the report designer buttons at this FAQ page.
Note: Before version 6.7, these settings also applied to the Report Viewer, Dashboard Designer, and Dashboard Viewer.
