# Manage District Tools

> Review, enable, disable, and create Workspace tools for all teachers from the Manage Tools page in Pear Start.

Pear Start **District Management Tools** lets district and school administrators ensure their environment follows district policies and instructional goals by managing the tools available to teachers. From the **Manage Tools** page, administrators can:

* Enable or disable tools to streamline operations
* Create district-wide **Custom Tools** labeled with a "Workspace" badge

## Understand the District Management Tools View

When administrators access **District Management Tools**, they see:

* Their district's name below their full name in the navigation menu
* The **Manage Tools** option in the navigation menu

On the **Manage Tools** page, tools are listed alphabetically with the following information:

| Column     | Values                                                                |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name**   | Tool name                                                             |
| **Type**   | **Default** (built-in) or **Workspace** (created by an administrator) |
| **Status** | Enabled or Disabled                                                   |

<Note>
  Tool types also appear as badges next to the tool's name on the Tools page for teachers.
