The status bar is displayed at the bottom of the main window of Atlantis:

It reports various status information about the active document (the cursor position, current language, spellcheck status, etc). It can also be used to perform some actions on the document like changing the zoom, switching view modes, navigating among potential misspellings, and more.

Use the "View | Status Bar" menu command to show or hide the status bar.

The status bar is divided into sections, each displaying a different type of information. Use the "Tools | Customize | Status Bar..." menu command to specify which sections should be displayed by the status bar.

You can hover the mouse over individual sections of the status bar for a brief description and a list of possible actions.
