Using the Developer Toolbar

The Developer toolbar consists of the following links:

Edit Application links you to the Application home page. See "About the Application Builder Home Page".
Edit Page accesses the Page Definition for the current running page. See "Editing a Page Definition".
Create links to a wizard for creating a new page, region, page control (item, button, branch, computation, process, or validation), or a shared control (navigation bar icon, tab, list of values, list, or breadcrumb). See "Creating a Page from the Developer Toolbar".
Session displays a new window containing session state information for the current page. See "Viewing Session State".
Debug toggles the page between Debug and No Debug mode. See "Accessing Debug Mode".
Show Edit Links toggles between Show Edit Links and Hide Edit Links. Clicking Show Edit Links displays edit links next to each object on the page that can be edited. Each edit link resembles two colons (::) and appears to the right of navigation bar items, tabs, region titles, buttons, and items. Clicking on the link displays another window in which to edit the object.
