You may add or remote items from it to customize your own toolbar.

Here is a sample to create and insert a custom toolbar item:

<MarkPlus
  toolbarItems={[
    "about",
    "|",
    <i
      key="preferences"
      title="Preferences"
      className="fa fa-cog"
      onClick={() => {
        console.log("Todo: display a preferences modal");
      }}
    >
    </i>,
  ]}
/>;

Custom toolbar item will freeze in React 19 dev mode.

It works in production mode though. It also works with React 18.
