The Tray Icon

An icon giving you access to the same options as the sortcut bar also appears in the task bar at the bottom right of your screen. In addition to all possibilities offered by the shortcut bar, the icon gives you the option to Plan upcoming sessions.

Note

For the reminder of the user guide, to alleviate the text, we will refer to the sortcut bar, but the tray icon serves the exact same purpose.
