The sidebar

The optional sidebar is an extra toolbar anchored to the left or right side of the Milestones window. The sidebar contains the toolbox (which is normally free-floating) and a user-defined list of shortcut buttons for a variety of activities, including moving from page to page, creating web pages, filtering, applying a color theme, creating a master schedule, and much more. Changes made in the Sidebar Options dialog box apply to all schedules.

The fewer rows of symbols and bars in the toolbox, the more sidebar shortcut icons are visible. A maximized Milestones window will display more sidebar shortcut icons than a minimized window.
