The tiny white triangle that is in the lower right hand corner of some of the tools indicates that there a re additional tool options hiding behind that particular tool. To see and use those additional tools you will need to simply press and hold your mouse on the tool until the options show. Then, continue to hold the mouse down and drag all the way to the right hand side of the options pop up. This will “tear off” or make the options pop up a small floating window where you can choose the specific optional tool you want to use.
