Proloquo add button
Example of a place where a button can be created and a created button

If you want to add a button or a folder, go to Customize by tapping the three dots and then the pencil Pencil icon in the right bottom corner.

While you’re using the app, you might see placeholder buttons with a plus icon Plus icon. These are the empty slots where a button or folder can be created. Depending on where you are, it is possible to create a button and / or a folder. This is clear from the shape.

From left to right, placeholders for: new button, new button or new folder, new folder

Tapping a + button, you will get a popup where you can choose what you want to create. On a space where either a button or a folder can be created, you will have the option to switch to a folder.

You can make several choices when you add a button or a folder.
