evoBar

After logging in as admin, you’ll notice a subtle change at the top of your browser as a new toolbar appears: the evoBar:

evoBar
evoBar in v7+

Note: This is what you see as admin. Other users may see fewer options or no evoBar at all. See User Group permissions..

In version 6.10.5 ++ the Toolbar options are Site | Collection | Page | + Post | Widgets | Skin | Features
In version 7.* they are Site | Collection | Page | Post + | Customize| Features

Available features / menus

The functions available through the evoBar depend on the permissions of the current user. Some User Groups may be configured to display no evoBar at all. This is the case for normal users by default.
