The Toolbar
The toolbar at the top of your OmniFocus window contains a set of buttons for commonly used app functions that are accessible at a single click. This chapter describes the controls available in the toolbar.
Toolbar Tools
App Menu 
Shows a menu with information about OmniFocus for the Web and commands for customizing your OmniFocus experience. See The App Menu below for information about individual menu commands.
Sync 
Prompts your OmniFocus database to sync with its counterpart in the cloud. (This happens automatically at regular intervals, so you shouldn’t need to manually sync often.)
Sidebar 
Opens and closes the sidebar on the left side of OmniFocus.
View 
Customizes which items appear in the current perspective’s outline based on their completion status, project order, and other perspective-specific features. See View Options for details.
Perspectives 
Opens the Perspectives menu, where you can navigate to any of the built-in perspectives as well as any custom perspectives you have created with OmniFocus for Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro.
Select the star next to a perspective to include it in the sidebar, or deselect it to remove it from the sidebar. If you visit an unstarred perspective its icon appears in the sidebar until you navigate to another perspective.
Clean Up 
Tidies any items in the outline that may belong elsewhere after a change of project, tag, or status.
Undo 
Undoes the latest change you made.
Redo 
Restores the most recently undone change.
New Action 
Adds an action item at the current location (inside the topmost level of whatever hierarchy is visible in the outline).
Add Items 
Opens the Add Items dialog for speedily adding new items from anywhere in OmniFocus.
Inspect 
Opens and closes the inspector on the right side of OmniFocus.
The App Menu
Click the OmniFocus icon in the toolbar to open the App Menu, which contains useful information and commands for working with OmniFocus for the Web.
About OmniFocus for the Web 
Opens an overlay with information about your current OmniFocus for the Web session.
Reference Manual 
Opens a browser window with the OmniFocus for the Web Reference Manual (the very thing you are reading now!).
Contact Omni 
Opens a browser window with a form for contacting Omni support, with options to include diagnostic information about your session and add any relevant attachments.
Release Notes 
Opens a browser window with the release notes for recent versions of OmniFocus for the Web.
Preferences 
Navigates to the OmniFocus for the Web Preferences screen, where you can customize your OmniFocus experience in the following ways:
-
Language preference—Choose the language for the OmniFocus user interface.
-
Date format—Choose how dates are displayed: month/day/year, day/month/year, or year/month/day.
-
Start of week—Choose the weekday that OmniFocus considers to be the start of the week for purposes of the Forecast perspective.
-
Time format—Choose whether times should be displayed on a 12 hour clock or a 24 hour clock.
Beneath these options is a button to Restore Defaults, which returns all preferences to their original settings.
After making any changes, click Back to apply them to your session (this may cause OmniFocus to reload in your browser).
Manage Account 
Opens a browser window to the Omni Accounts website, where you can log in to manage the Omni Account associated with your OmniFocus for the Web subscription.
Sign Out 
Sign out from OmniFocus for the Web, ending the current session.
