 Visual Studio provides different tools for use in debugging multithreaded apps.
 
-- For threads, the primary tools for debugging threads are the **Threads** window, thread markers in source windows, the **Parallel Stacks** window, the **Parallel Watch** window, and the **Debug Location** toolbar. To learn about the **Threads** window and **Debug Location** toolbar, see [Walkthrough: Debug using the Threads window](../debugger/how-to-use-the-threads-window.md). To learn how to use the **Parallel Stacks** and **Parallel Watch** windows, see [Get started debugging a multithreaded application](../debugger/get-started-debugging-multithreaded-apps.md). Both topics show how to use thread markers.
