Icons Per Row

If your Palette or Shelf position is vertical (either Left or Right), click to display the popup menu from which you can select to display the icons three or four across.

TipWhen bringing icons onto your shelf from File menu tools, most will contain the picture of a file folder with a colored tab. The colored tab makes it easier to distinguish between the various types of files handled by these tools.
NoteFor example, the icon for File > Import > Cloud has a folder with a purple tab drawn on it.
