Simplify the bottom toolbar

  • 1 minute read

Currently, it is not possible to include only the grid buttons while scanning. The scan will start at the message window, then go to the grid, then the bottom toolbar. However, you can simplify scanning significantly by hiding buttons from the bottom toolbar.

This can also be helpful for people who can touch the screen but often accidentally hit these buttons.
