## Create Tools for the Toolbox

To create your own Toolbox item take the following steps: 1. Create the *Toolbox* folder under an SPE module. Use the context menu to simplify the process.

* Right click the module name and choose Scripts -> Create libraries for integration points.

* Select the *Toolbox* item and click *Proceed*.

  1. Create a *PowerShell Script* under the *Toolbox* item.
* Right click the *Toolbox* library and choose *PowerShell Script*.
