| '''{{int:Cite-ve-toolbar-group-label}} menu:''' The "{{int:Cite-ve-toolbar-group-label}}" menu is used to add inline citations (also called "footnotes" or "references"). All projects have access to "{{int:Cite-ve-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip}}" reference formatting and the ability to "{{int:Cite-ve-dialog-reference-useexisting-tool}}" citations, using this menu. This menu also gives you quick access to local citation templates, if these are enabled on your wiki.
(Instructions for adding local citation templates to the {{int:Cite-ve-toolbar-group-label}} menu at a specific wiki are available at [[MW:VisualEditor/Citation tool|VisualEditor/Citation tool]].)

| The '''{{int:visualeditor-pagemenu-tooltip}}''' menu is to the left of the '''Publish changes''' button. On this menu there are options to adjust page settings, such as whether the page is a redirect, or how it is indexed; to [[#Editing categories|add, edit, or delete categories]]; and to see, using the "{{int:visualeditor-annotationbutton-language-tooltip}}" item, the list of articles on the same subject that are in other languages. You can also switch (one-way only) from VisualEditor to the classic wikitext source editor without losing the editing work you've done.
