🛠️ Native Tools 101
Tools is the space where you can find and manage all the resources that come from third-party apps integrated with Sessions (Airtable, Canva, Google Docs/Forms/Sheets/Slides, Miro, Mentimeter, YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) as well as tools native to the platform (Forms and Whiteboard by Sessions).
Tools is available to all users who have a registered account. You can access it from Sessions Home’s left sidebar. To find a specific resource quickly, use the left search bar to type in its name.
To narrow down your search, click on the tool it belongs to (Google Docs, Pitch, YouTube, etc.). Type the resource's name in the search bar dedicated to that specific tool.
