Hi, i would like to change how to display Formatting Marks in NextCloud Collabora Online Writer. I read here ( [Formatting Aids](https://help.collaboraoffice.com/latest/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01040600.html?&DbPAR=SHARED&System=UNIX) ) that i should find the _ **tools** _ menu to do it. in french, it is the _ **Outils** _ menu (according to [Aides au formatage](https://help.collaboraoffice.com/latest/fr/text/shared/optionen/01040600.html?&DbPAR=SHARED&System=UNIX) ) But, when i have a file open in collabora, i can’t find this menu. Here is a screen capture : ![Sélection_352](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/collaboraonline/original/2X/b/b8942d64fd0035e43bd95b1a410beacfc2ed2f4e.png) As you can see, the _ **Outils** _ menu does not exist for me. How can i find it ? ---

hi @loicbahuetu-oss Welcome to community froum 🙂 Collabora Online has a simplified menu bar compared to the full desktop version. Many menus and options are either relocated, reduced, or absent entirely. The full **Tools (Outils)** menu from LibreOffice/Collabora Office doesn’t exist in the Online version. In the **View (Affichage)** menu rather than Tools — in some versions of Collabora Online, the formatting marks option has been moved there. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/collaboraonline/original/2X/4/4d2c396787900fa42ae18f45e9dcf3639152f8b1.png) Thanks Darshan ---
