# The Admin Bar | Website Manual

**The Admin Bar**

The Admin Bar is the toolbar across the top of the screen when you are logged in to WordPress.

Coming soon

We are recording a new video for this one.

## Before you finish

Tick them off as you go.

**Not seeing your change?**

Your browser may be showing a copy it saved earlier. Open the page in a private window, or press Ctrl + F5 to reload it fresh (Cmd + Shift + R on a Mac).

If your site has a caching plugin, clear its cache too. There is usually a button for it in the bar along the top of the dashboard. Still the old version after a few minutes? Ask whoever looks after your site to clear the server cache.

### Good to know

The Admin Bar is the toolbar across the top of the screen when you are logged in to WordPress. It gives quick links to edit the page you are viewing, add new content or go back to the Dashboard.

It also shows on the front of your site, but only to you while you are logged in, and visitors never see it. Plugins can add their own items to the bar, so yours may carry more links than a fresh install.

### You needed to change one thing. Now you are learning the editor again.

Your website should be handled. Not handed back to you.
