Main Toolbox

The Main Toolbox opens on your display when you start ActivInspire. When you start ActivInspire for the very first time, the toolbox contains a set of the most popular tools. The items in the Main Toolbox are just a selection of the many tools available. You can also access a large range of additional tools from the Tools Menu.

Next time you start ActivInspire, it will remember where you left the toolbox last time, and which tools it contained.

The picture below shows the default Main Toolbox for ActivInspire Professional. Tools are grouped according to function. Groups are separated by a divider. The table on the right names the tools in each group.

For details of all the tools in the Main Toolbox, click the picture.

For details of the tools in each group, click the number of the group in the table.
