# Configure the HTML toolbar

Configure which buttons are available on the HTML toolbar.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1.  Update the toolbar options for your preferred HTML field editor.

<table id="choicetable_twl_kgd_rxb"><tbody><tr><td id="d153348e57">

**htmlArea toolbar**

</td><td>

1.  Navigate to the System properties \[sys\_properties\] table by entering `sys_properties.list` in the application navigator.
2.  In the **Name** column, search for `glide.ui.html.toolbar`.
3.  Select the **glide.ui.html.toolbar** property.


</td></tr><tr><td id="d153348e90">

**TinyMCE**

</td><td>

1.  Navigate to the System properties \[sys\_properties\] table by entering `sys_properties.list` in the application navigator.
2.  In the **Name** column, search for `glide.ui.html.editor.toolbar`.
3.  Select the **glide.ui.html.editor.toolbar** property.


</td></tr></tbody>
</table>2.  In the **Value** field, enter or remove buttons for each toolbar as a space-separated list without commas.

    For the TinyMCE toolbar, all the toolbar buttons mentioned in the TinyMCE button options table are available in the **glide.ui.html.editor.toolbar.valid\_buttons**. You can choose from the list found there and add it to the System properties \[sys\_properties\] **glide.ui.html.editor.toolbar**. Use a vertical bar \("\|"\) to add a section separator.
