Admin bar

Admin Bar is a toolbar that provides shortcuts to pages in the Craft CMS Control Panel, and widgets that integrate with your favorite plugins. It’s customizable so you can control what shortcuts are shown and it’s themeable so you can match the look and feel of your Craft CMS project.

Admin bar shortcuts

Admin Bar links back to commonly used pages in the Control Panel. Each link is shown based on the currently logged in user’s permission.

When visiting a page managed in the CMS, the Edit button quickly takes you to the entry’s edit page.

Admin bar widgets

Admin Bar Widgets reveal information about the page you are on, saving you time jumping back and forth between front-end pages and the CMS. They are available based on which features you are using in Craft CMS and which plugins you have installed and enabled.

Use Admin Bar’s plugin settings page to pick which widgets you want to display.
