Customize the Toolbox
When we first log in to Admin Center, the Toolbox contains the Explore tool and a bookmark to WASdev.net. The Toolbox also has the Deploy tool if the server hosting Admin Center is a collective controller. We can edit the Toolbox contents by adding tools from the Tool Catalog or by adding bookmarks. A tool is a web application that performs a particular task and is typically provided by the product. A bookmark is a user-added link to any site. We can further customize the Toolbox by rearranging icons, filtering Toolbox contents, or editing preferences.
Select tools, bookmarks, and menu choices in the Toolbox to use Admin Center. The Toolbox offers the following options:
- Select a tool or bookmark.
- Add or remove a tool.

What to do next
Your selections are saved for the user name that was specified when logging in. If you later log in under the same user name, the Toolbox shows the same tool, bookmark, and preference selections as when you last logged out. If you log in under a different user name, the Toolbox shows the selections for that other user name.
