The DragonBar
The DragonBar is the toolbar you use to control the Dragon software. You can
choose to use the New DragonBar or switch to the Classic DragonBar from
previous versions. (If you switch between DragonBars, the last DragonBar you
chose appears the next time you open Dragon.) By default, when you start
Dragon, the New DragonBar appears at the top of your screen and is set to
Auto-collapse.
