The CLC Toolbox is a resource of best practices and strategies for EveryAction and VAN - everything from how to send email blasts to the quirks of the Bulk Uploader. 

CLC Toolbox resources are designed to be accessible to beginners. Many of resources look like the guide you're looking at right now, something we call a Click-Through Guide, since each click is documented.

If you are not a current or prospective CLC client and need help figuring out which Syllabus to try or purchase on the Toolbox, see: [Which CLC Toolbox bundle is right for me?](https://info.clctoolbox.org/bundles)

This Click-Through Guide will orient you as to how you will interact within the Toolbox and access the courses you need!

Our goal with the Toolbox is to make our guides more accessible, user-friendly and sustainable to a wider audience of EveryAction users.

The beginning of this guide presents 2 paths, choose the start that most makes sense to your circumstances, and navigate to the matching header using the left-side table of contents menu.
