The Toolbox is the main operational point for accessing functions for the Tabulate app. It typically appears at the left-hand side of the canvas (for LTR languages). The Toolbox provides access to the same functions, regardless of the currently selected tab ribbon.
Note: The Toolbox is sometimes referred to as the Canvas Menu.

Content Selector
Add existing discoveries to your tabulation from the content manager. These are shareable visuals that were created in Discover. This option opens an explorer-like interface, where you can select items that are saved in your private folder (My Content) or any Workgroup or Public folders you have access to. Note: You can also search for items by name or select them from your Recent and Favorite file locations.

Add new slicer
The Add New Slicer button (purple arrow) allows you to add a Slicer to your canvas. Slicers are used to filter data visualizations in tabulations. If a content item contains a slicer, you can select a value from it to filter any visuals driven by it.
