# Removing a tool from the toolbar in our MAUI viewer

Nutrient MAUI SDK comes with a customizable main toolbar that, by default, includes a number of predefined items. You can remove any toolbar item you want using our API.

Nutrient is initialized with a default set of items that can be retrieved via [`MainToolbar.DefaultToolbarItems`](https://www.nutrient.io/api/maui/sdk/PSPDFKit.Sdk.Models.Toolbar.MainToolbar.html#DefaultToolbarItems):

```csharp

foreach(var item in MainToolbar.DefaultToolbarItems)
{
    Debug.WriteLine(item.Name);
}

```



To remove any item, first find the item you want to remove from the current toolbar items listed in the main toolbar, [`MainToolbar.ToolbarItems`](https://www.nutrient.io/api/maui/sdk/PSPDFKit.Sdk.Models.Toolbar.MainToolbar.html#PSPDFKit_Sdk_Models_Toolbar_MainToolbarToolbarItems). Then update [`MainToolbar.ToolbarItems`](https://www.nutrient.io/api/maui/sdk/PSPDFKit.Sdk.Models.Toolbar.MainToolbar.html#PSPDFKit_Sdk_Models_Toolbar_MainToolbarToolbarItems) to remove the item:

```csharp

// Find the item to remove.
var inkToggleButton = PSPDFKitController.MainToolbar.ToolbarItems.First(
    item => item.GetType() == typeof(InkToggleButton));

// Remove the item.
PSPDFKitController.MainToolbar.ToolbarItems.Remove(inkToggleButton);

```
