I'm going to correct this bug report.

There is a toolbar, of sorts, but is not at all obvious what any of the entries allow the user to do, nor even how to position, dimension, or otherwise modify any of the allowable insertable objects, which only show up after saving, quitting, and reopening the file. The choices of objects, when available, are extremely limited.

Compare with Collabora Productivity app for Android, where one can at least add a variety of objects, even if interacting with some of them seems impossible.
