Line Studies Tool-Bar Menu on the MT5

Sometimes traders will claim "oh, I can't find Fibonacci extension tool on my MT5 where can I get it?"

The thing is that all these line tools are located on the line studies tool-bar: however, by default settings not all are set to display, hence a trader must know where to get these trading tools that aren't shown by default on the MetaTrader 5 Software Platform. So how can a gold trader add a trading tool, to the line studies MT5 tool bar shown below?
