The new layout for Android Studio is nice, but it seems like they left out one of the most important buttons! The back and forward buttons were always at the top, where did they go?

Android Studio toolbar w/ no nav buttons

I’ve looked in every menu item, file, help, it seems to have just disappeared.

    You're not crazy, the back/forward buttons are disabled by default. If you right click on the toolbar along the existing buttons, you'll be able to access a menu called "Customize Toolbar".

    Android Studio right click customize

    From there, select the "+" at the top", select "Add Action", either navigate to Main Menu > Navigate > Back/Forward or search for "Back/Forward", and then select both of them to add them to the menu bar. You can even add a separator beforehand to make it look more organized!

    Android Studio add action selection Hope this helps someone because this has been driving me crazy!

  2. I’m not sure which buttons you mean, but did you try right clicking on the toolbar, then going to Customize Toolbar and then adding action with the + button? I guess you should find it there.
