configure toolbar

The instructions for configuring the toolbar say to control click within the toolbar. When I do this, all I get is info on the closest existing icon - no way to add new icons. Wrong instructions also in LittleSquare (or whatever they call it).  Nothing useful in Preferences or Company. How do I add an icon? This should be ridiculously simple but it's not. It worked in QB 2016.

There's a customize icon on the toolbar itself at the far right (or below, if you have it configured vertically instead of horizontally).  If your screen is very small it might be off the right side of the screen in which case move the toolbar to the left by dragging on its title to make it visible).

How do I remove icons. I just spent 3 phone calls and over an hour trying to get someone on the support line to understand the question and after all that time on the 3rd call I was told that they do not answer how to questions. I JUST SPENT OVER $300 ONLY 2 DAYS AGO AND THEY WILL NOT ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. I have been a QB client for over 30 years.  I have a few questions, but this one applies to this thread.  Please please please, does anyone know how to remove icons from the toolbar.

Thank you, Emily.

However, I've been doing that (attempting to drag the icons from the toolbar) and they don't drag, they only open the icon item because I have initially clicked to start the drag. I also have been trying from the customize window (they won't do anything there). I can move the toolbar and add to the toolbar but nothing will drag out. I can reorder the icons in the toolbar by dragging within the toolbar but not drag them out to remove them.  THAT is why I have been trying to reach support - I have been following the instructions online, in the product and in the forum, with no results. I truly was disappointed particularly when I was told when I HAVE FOLLOWED all the instructions that support was not available for a 48 hour old $300+ product.
