====== Design Toolbox ======
The Design Toolbox is part of the [[ui:Library Explorer]], where sequence elements can be stored.

==== Organization ====
{{:guide:screenshot_c.jpg}}
  * Sequence elements are organized within folders.
    * The toolbox is pre-loaded with a set of elements.
  * New folders can be created by selecting "add new folder / group" from the "Add" button at the bottom of the Library Explorer.
  * A folder may be moved within the toolbox by selecting the icon and dragging it to a new position.

==== Adding, removing and editing toolbox elements ====
    * An element may be added to the toolbox by 
      * dragging the icon of an existing element from the [[ui:workspace_pane | Workspace Pane]] or the [[ui:navigation_pane | Navigation Pane]].  
        * dragging the icon of a group from the [[ui:workspace_pane | Workspace Pane]] or the [[ui:navigation_pane | Navigation Pane]] will create a folder within the toolbox.
      * selecting "add new element" from the "Add" button at the bottom of the Library Explorer.
      * copying an existing element in the toolbox
        * by right clicking on the icon and selecting "copy element"
        * by dragging the icon of the element to a new position in the toolbox while holding down the ctrl key
    * An element may be deleted from the toolbox by selecting it and clicking on the "delete" button at the bottom of the Library Explorer.
    * An element may be edited within the toolbox by 
      * selecting it and clicking on the "edit" button at the bottom of the [[ui:Library Explorer]].
      * double clicking on it.

==== Preloaded elements are different ====
  * Preloaded sequence elements  may be updated from time to time with new versions of GeneDesigner.  They therefore differ from user-added sequence elements in the following ways:
== Moving pre-loaded elements ==
  * Moving a pre-loaded element or folder of elements will automatically create a copy of the element / folder.
    * When sequences are updated, only the elements / folders in their original locations will be updated.

== Editing pre-loaded elements ==
  * Pre-loaded elements or folders of elements must be copied before editing.

== Deleting pre-loaded elements ==
  * Pre-loaded elements or folders of elements cannot be deleted.
