Top Bar

The thin strip above the canvas holds the view switches and the compile controls.

The top bar, outlined in red: base class, Actions, shortcuts, graph refresh and Compile All.

Controls, left to right

• Class button: shows the script’s base class (e.g. Node2D). Reads “No script loaded” and is disabled when nothing is open.
• Config (gear), opens Settings.
• Actions: the validation counter, see below.
• Shortcuts (keyboard icon), opens the keyboard shortcuts panel.
• Refresh: rebuilds the canvas layout.
• Flow layout (columns icon): toggles wrapping, so a long chain of actions folds into columns instead of running off to the right.
• Compile All: saves the graph and compiles every script in the collection to GDScript, then shows a report of what was written.

The “Actions” button is not the Actions panel

Common confusion

The button labelled “Actions” in the top bar is a validation control, not the action list on a state. It shows a green check and “Actions” when the script is clean, or a red shield and “Actions (N)” when there are N errors, clicking it opens the error list.
