# Configure Markdown toolbar using system properties

Configure the toolbar options for Markdown editors across all tables in the platform using a system property.

## About this task

The Markdown field type provides a default toolbar. You can customize the toolbar options globally for all Markdown editors in the platform.

## Procedure

2.  In the Name column, search for **glide.ui.markdown.editor.toolbar**.

3.  Select the **glide.ui.markdown.editor.toolbar** property.

4.  In the Value field, modify the toolbar options.

    The default value is: `heading | bold italic strike code | ul ol tasklist | link table codeblock | quote hr | download fullscreen`

    Available toolbar options: `heading`, `bold`, `italic`, `strike`, `highlight`, `subscript`, `superscript`, `code`, `ul`, `ol`, `tasklist`, `link`, `table`, `codeblock`, `quote`, `hr`, `download`, `fullscreen`.

    Use the pipe character \(\|\) to separate groups of options.
