The horizontal splitter located in the Main Window of Studio adjusts the overall width of the Main Control Panel, It also provides buttons for quick access to frequently used operations.
Most of these buttons duplicate functions found within the main menus or toolbars.
Utilizing these buttons can increase efficiency, particularly when using a touchscreen or working extensively with a mouse.
