Hi Alex and All, Here’s how to customize the Touch Bar in Mail: 1. Select “Customize Touch Bar” from the View Menu. 2. VO-Right Arrow till you hear, “Section 2,” and interact with it. 3. VO-Right and Left Arrow to review options. Select the addition you want with VOSpace Bar.
1. Remove an item by going to Customize Touch Bar in the view menu. 2. On the Touch Bar, double tap on the item you want to remove. Not all applications have this feature.
