# Toolbars Provide immediate access to frequently used commands and controls. ## Overview The system might present toolbars above or below your app’s content, depending on the platform and the context.  Add items to a toolbar by applying the [`toolbar(content:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/toolbar(content:)) view modifier to a view in your app. You can also configure the toolbar using view modifiers. For example, you can set the visibility of a toolbar with the [`toolbar(_:for:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/toolbar(_:for:)) modifier. For design guidance, see in the Human Interface Guidelines. ## Topics ### Populating a toolbar [`toolbar(content:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/toolbar(content:)) Populates the toolbar or navigation bar with the specified items.
