Toolkit features overview
This page lists the tools in the LmBox Toolkit that you can drag into the 12 slots, so you can match the names in the app with the guides. For the overview cards see Toolkit.
Where to find them
- Click at the very bottom of the sidebar to open the setup page and drag tools onto the rack.
- After you open the floating toolbar with the shortcut, click a slot to run it; to change a slot icon or a tool's settings, go to the Toolkit page in the main window and click that slot.
- Tools with settings have their own guides: a dedicated panel appears at the bottom right of the main window.
- Import, convert, ink, Sony exchange and other tools have guides; the five "open Fusion folder" tools are only listed here with the apps they work with.
- You can also put Lab feature pages on the rack (clicking the slot opens the page); see the Lab features overview.
- One Chinese-market-only tool is not covered in English for now.
