The Projects Toolbar appears at the top of every page in JIRA Studio. The toolbar has two main parts:
- The dark-blue header — this is displayed on every page in JIRA Studio. It contains tabs for the project you are currently viewing. The default tabs are the Issues, Wiki, Source and Reviews tabs, but you may see a different set of tabs depending on how your administrator has set up the project.
- The light-blue subheader — this subheader appears for all of the default applications in Studio. The functions in this subheader change depending on whether you are currently working with Issues, Wiki, Source or Reviews. The main area of the screen, below the projects toolbar, will also change depending on whether you are currently working with Issues, Wiki, Source or Reviews.

Features of the Projects Toolbar
The projects toolbar has a number of key features that can help you navigate around Studio more easily:
- The projects dropdown menu — This dropdown menu is labelled with the project you are currently viewing (e.g. 'Demo Project - Stream'). It allows you to easily switch between projects you have set up in JIRA Studio.
