The Tools tab is where you create and manage the tools you use to engage with your community. Any existing tools for the project are listed on the left and each tool you use translate to a tab on the live project page.
You can use most tools more than once on projects, but there can only be one tab per tool. For example, you can add multiple Places maps, but they will display in a list in the Places tool tab. There are the following exceptions:
Stories can only be used once per tool
Guestbook can only be used once per tool
Q&A can only be used once per tool
Pinned surveys display in separate tabs on the project page
Display Quick polls as a widget instead
In the Tools tab, you can:
Select Add a Tool to enable tools for your project.
Select the tool names to see the list of existing tool instances. Each will show the title, update date and time, and the number of contributions.
For each tool you can select the:
Pen icon: Use this to edit the tool details or settings.
Eye icon: Use this to preview the tool.
Share icon: Use this to retrieve an embed code or standalone URL for the Ideas, Places, Survey, and Quick Poll tools.
Tag icon: Use this to pin a survey into a separate tab on the project page.
Three dots menu: Access additional options, including the Schedule, Delete, Contributions (Ideas), or Analyse (Ideas and Surveys) options.
Select the pen icon next to the tab title to change and Save the tool’s Name. By default, this will be the title of the tool.
