Undo / Redo (design-related only): undo or redo the last change you made in your design. This functionality relates to adding and deleting objects as well as changes of object properties and states. Changes in your project can be undone up to the point where your project was created or imported.

NOTE: Undo and Redo do not work for changes concerning action lists, scanning, content, events, global variables and additional files, as well as changes in the objects library. It is a design-related undo/redo functionality.
 

Test: switches your application to testmode. In test mode you can preview your project. Here you test the functionality and design of your application live. If an internet connection is active, your application can access the web, so you can  check links and functionality online.

Press the test button again to switch BrowserBob back to design mode.

Important note:
in testmode, no new windows can be opened at all. Handling of Popups and new windows can only be tested with a finished application. Also the functionality of a custom user agent string is not available in testmode.
Testing your project
 

Build: opens the build dialog, which enables you to finish your project and generate standalone windows applications in several different formats.
