# Action Bar, All Actions & Workflow Actions

Vault uses an action bar and _All Actions_ menu to display and organize available actions.

## Action Bar

The action bar continuously learns how each user works with documents and records, and shows their four most frequently-used actions in the upper right of the document or record.

## All Actions Menu

The  **All Actions** menu (<img class="inline" src="https://platform.veevavault.help/assets/images/platform_all_actions_menu.png" alt="All Actions menu icon" style="" />) is available on the far right of the action bar, via the ellipsis icon. This menu displays all actions you have available for  the selected document or record, including **Send as Link**, **Where Used**, and **Version History**.

Available items in the **All Actions** menu vary by Vault configuration, lifecycle state, _Create_ permissions, your license type, your security profile, and your role-based permissions on the document or record.

Menu items are divided into four categories: **Manage**, **Edit**, **Download**, and **View**. Each section contains a list of actions that you can perform on the selected document or record.

## Workflow Actions Menu

To the left of the action bar, the **Workflow Actions** menu (<img class="inline" src="https://platform.veevavault.help/assets/images/platform_workflow_actions_menu.png" alt="Workflow Actions menu icon" style="" />) provides quick access to any user actions, workflow actions, or state change actions defined for this lifecycle state.

If state change actions are available, you can click the lifecycle state badge to select the next lifecycle state for your document or record.
