How do I show my players the macro bar I built?

I was under the impression that, as a GM, I could set up a few macros, show my macro bar with them on it, and the players would be able to see it, but having tried it just now my player couldn't see it. Am I under a misapprehension, or should they be able to use the bar I built? And if not, how do I share it with them?
If you set the macros to Token Actions, they will show every time a token is selected, even for players.  I seem to recall that you have to allow the players to see/ use the macros somehow.  Check the wiki; I'm sure it mentions the details somewhere in the macros section.  And I'm sure someone with a better memory will turn up to correct me as well if I've given bad info.

Players will need to turn on their Macro Bar:   Then check the In Bar next to the macro's you've provided:

The documentation on the location is a little outdated as of yesterday's update.  I'll see about getting that updated soon.
Hmmm, I have the 'Show macro quick bar?' option ticked, and when I rejoin as a player I can see it and use, maybe it was just that player. We're not using tokens in this game, but I changed the macros to all 'show as token action?', don't know if that changed anything...?
Oops, got ninja'ed by Aaron, yes I did check the In bars and got him to turn on his bar, I'll check with some other players later.

Great!
Feadel mentions setting the macro as visible to the players. You may already have that covered but just in case, you have to scroll down the macro editing window to see it:
Aha! Rabulias, I hadn't seen that, no, but have tweaked them all now, thanks. I have to say, so many features are hidden that way, and you don't always realise you have to scroll down, I hope something can be done to make that a bit more intuitive, or make windows like that just open at max size (plenty of room for it). On the other hand, I ought to be used to it by now... :P
