The Admin Toolbar

In ApplyCycle, editors use the Admin Toolbar to reach content, people, applications, and site configuration. The toolbar has Manage and Account sections, with the account section showing the editor's username. Clicking either section expands or collapses its submenus. Editors can display the toolbar across the top or vertically along the left side.

You'll know you're logged in to your ApplyCycle site as a site Editor when you see the black Admin Toolbar at the top of your page.

The Admin Toolbar contains to main sections, 'Manage' and 'Account.' ('Account' will display your username.)
