What is the action bar in Wix Studio Two?

The action bar is the strip of controls at the bottom of the screen when you select something in the Wix Studio Two Editor. It shows only the actions that suit that element and replaces the Studio Editor's small floating toolbar.

Key points

  • The action bar appears at the bottom of the screen when you select something.
  • Its controls change with the element you select.
  • Use it for quick changes and the Inspector for precise ones.

The action bar is the strip of controls that appears at the bottom of the screen when you select something in the Wix Studio Two Editor. It shows only the actions that make sense for that element, so it changes as you click around. It replaces the small toolbar the Studio Editor shows next to an element.

What can you do from the action bar?

It depends on what you select. From Wix's Studio Two help articles:

  • Text: Edit Text, Ask AI, a link icon, a text style dropdown and More Actions.
  • Images: Replace Image, with Connect to Data in its dropdown.
  • Sections: tools such as Ani-Mate, plus AI actions like Improve layout, Regenerate section, Simplify text, Fix alignment and Match content to site.
  • Headers: Change Behavior, where you set the scroll effect.
  • Repeaters: Manage, followed by the source name, for filters, sorts and items per load.
  • Designed elements: Custom Style, to save the look to Site Styles.
  • Most elements: More Actions, with options such as Hide and Connect to Data.

What about AI Actions?

Some elements also show an AI Actions icon. For images it covers jobs like removing the background, expanding or enhancing an image, and Smart Edits. For text, Ask AI opens Aria with options to help with the element, suggest improvements or ask anything.

Action bar or Inspector?

Use the action bar for quick changes. For precise sizing, layout, motion, data connections and accessibility, open the Inspector from the icon at the top right. Wix describes the action bar as showing only the relevant controls, which is exactly why it's quick: there's less to look through.
