# Separator Controls

Qt Quick Controls 2 offers a selection of separators.

MenuSeparator | Separates a group of items in a menu from adjacent items
ToolSeparator | Separates a group of items in a toolbar from adjacent items

Each type of separator has its own specific use case. The following sections offer guidelines for choosing the appropriate type of separator, depending on the use case.

## MenuSeparator Control

MenuSeparator should be used to separate items (typically MenuItem controls) in a Menu. Grouping related menu items together makes it easier for the user to interact with the menu. For example, a typical desktop user interface might have `Undo` and `Redo` items in one group, and `Cut`, `Copy` and `Paste` in another.

## ToolSeparator Control

ToolSeparator should be used to separate items (typically ToolButton controls) in a ToolBar. It can be used in horizontal or vertical toolbars.
