Audacity 4 has three toolbars, and each has its own page.

Project toolbar

The Project toolbar: Home and Project tabs, Audio setup, Share audio and Get effects, the workspace selector, and undo and redo

Across the very top of the window: the Home and Project tabs, the hotbar (Audio setup, Share audio, Get effects), the workspace selector, and undo and redo. Project toolbar →

Tools toolbar

The Tools toolbar: transport controls, editing tools, zoom, the playhead timecode, snapping, and the record level button

The one you work in: playback and recording, the editing tools, zoom, the playhead position, snapping, and the record level. It is also the one toolbar you can move. Tools toolbar →

Bottom toolbar

The Bottom toolbar: selection start and end, and duration

Docked along the bottom: the current selection’s start, end and duration, each editable. Bottom toolbar →

Workspaces change what you see

The workspace selector in the Project toolbar switches between Classic, Modern, Music and Spectral editing layouts, and the choice changes which tools the Tools toolbar shows — Music adds tempo and time-signature controls, Spectral editing pares the toolbar down to zoom and a view switch.
