All the actions to be performed in the GlycoWorkbench can be accessed by the menus in the menubar. Some of the commands are also replicated in the toolbar for faster access. Some commands can be executed by pressing a combination of keys, in this case the combination of keys to be pressed is written next to the corresponding entry in the menu. In the following, a command from the menu is referenced as "Menu name -> command name".

A popup menu with a reduced set of commands to be performed on the selected residue(s) can be activated by pressing the mouse right button on a residue in the structure panel. Each tool panel has its own set of commands that can be accessed both by the dedicated toolbar at the bottom of the corresponding panel or by activating the specific popup menu with a mouse right click.
