# Stage tools

> Create and edit processing stage tools on the Stage Tools tab of Project Properties in ABBYY FlexiCapture, adding event scripts and skin settings.

The Stage Tools tab of the [Project Properties](/flexi-capture/project-settings/project-properties) dialog box allows you to configure tools of the processing stages. On this tab you can add and delete custom tools and edit tools properties.

To create a new processing stage tool, click the **Add...** button. In the Create New Processing Stage Tool dialog box that opens, specify the name of the tool, enter the description and select the type of the stage from the **Type** drop-down list. The new stage tool will be added to the list of tools.

To edit a selected stage, click the **Edit...** button. The Processing Stage Tool Settings dialog box that opens, contains the following settings:
