**3. Activities Toolbar**

The Activities Toolbar contains all the activities that can be added in your automation project using drag and drop.

Besides the activities list, the toolbar has 2 additional sections:

* Recent: the latest used activities
* [Favorites](/getting-started/tap-studio/how-to-add-an-activity-to-favorite-activities.md): the activities you use the most in your daily automation projects.

We recommend visiting our [section dedicated to TAP Studio Actions](/actions/tap-actions.md) where you can find more info about each of them, how to configure it and watch a use case.
