      Understanding and Using the Touch Bar

      If you have a MacBook Pro model produced between October 2016 and November 2020, it may have the Touch Bar at the top of the keyboard instead of the hardware function keys. The Touch Bar is a flat sensor strip that replaces the row of physical function keys with virtual keys that change depending on the app and the actions available to you.

      You can take a wide variety of actions from the Touch Bar, depending on the apps you use and what you do in them. This section introduces you to buttons that appear frequently on the Touch Bar.
