Editor tool

Add a tool

One step. This creates the tool’s record and places it as a card in a Tool Shed collection at the same time; no need to add the record first and then add the card separately.

One moment while we confirm you’re signed in as an editor.

The tool

What it is, what it’s called, and where it opens.

Title

Short summary optional

Shown on the tool card under the title.

Type

How it’s catalogued. Most Tool Shed tools are toolkits.

License

Defaults to CC BY 4.0.

Link to the tool optional

Where the tool opens: a BLOOM tool page (e.g. /tools/…), or an external utility. Leave blank if it’s not live yet; the card shows “Coming soon.”

Web address (slug)

The record’s unique address. Filled in from the title; edit if you like. Lowercase, hyphens.

Where it goes

Pick the Tool Shed collection this card belongs in. The tool appears as a card in that group on the Tool Shed.

Collection

The section of the Tool Shed the card lands in. Manage collections themselves from the Tool Shed’s Edit cards → Manage collections.

Card banner optional

A diagonal corner ribbon on the card.

Icon key optional

Optional icon reference for the card. Leave blank for the default tile.

Publish

Adding a tool publishes its record so the card can show. You can unpublish or edit it later from the dashboard.

The tool is credited to your BLOOM profile as its own work and served as a link-out (BLOOM points at the link you gave). To catalogue someone else’s work with fuller provenance, use Add a record instead, then add its card here.
