# Obsidian Ribbon
The [[Obsidian]] Ribbon is a toolbar that includes a (configurable) set of icons that you can use to quickly execute certain actions such as:
- Opening the [[Obsidian Graph view]]
- Creating a new [[Obsidian Canvas]]
- Opening the [[Obsidian Quick Switcher]]
- ...
On desktop, it's located in the left sidebar and remains visible even when the left sidebar is closed:

On mobile, you can access the ribbon by tapping the Menu option at the bottom right corner of the app when you're not editing a note.
Certain [[Obsidian Community Plugins]] add new Ribbon icons.
Note that you can configure which icons are shown or not by right clicking on the Ribbon and selecting/deselecting entries:
