The toolbar contains the following buttons, from left to right:

Smart Focus	Fly the camera to the best unoccluded viewpoint for the currently selected object. Click again to cycle through alternative viewpoints. See Smart Focus.
Screenshot	Opens the Screenshot popup to capture the Scene View or Game View.
Overlay	Toggle health check overlay visualization in the Scene View (colored wireframe spheres).
Mini Viewports	Toggle multi-angle viewport panels.

All settings persist between sessions via EditorPrefs.
