Results Toolbar
The Results ribbon toolbar (Windows) and the Results contextual toolbar (macOS and Linux) contain many of the common features and actions required to work with studies and solvers.
For step-by-step instructions and general documentation descriptions, this is the Results toolbar.

1 For cross-platform users (macOS and Linux), the combination of buttons that display is dependent in the toolbar setting. For example, some buttons may not be visible if the Tools>Toolbar Display Mode is set to Normal and the Tools>Toolbar Button Label is set to Show Icon and Text. It also depends on whether you are using a Widescreen or Regular Screen Layout.
