 ### Attributes Renamed
 
-The attributes to position an `ion-buttons` element inside of a toolbar have been either removed or renamed, as well as the behavior of the attributes. We noticed there was some confusion behind the behavior of the `start` and `end` attributes, and with the new support for RTL we wanted to make these match RTL. In order to do this we have removed the old functionality behind the `start`/`end` attributes and renamed the `left`/`right` attributes.
+Previously to positions buttons inside of a toolbar the following attributes were used: `start`, `left`, `right`, `end`.
 
-**Old Properties:**

-|--------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-| `start`      | Positions element to the `left` of the content in `ios` mode, and directly to the `right` in `md` and `wp` mode. |
-| `end`        | Positions element to the `right` of the content in `ios` mode, and to the far `right` in `md` and `wp` mode.     |
-| `left`       | Positions element to the `left` of all other elements.                                                           |
