Tool Deployment

Next you will create a Deployment for the new tool that was just created, either from the Creation screen or the Edit Tool screen. Deployments allow sharing of registered tools in D2L to specific org units or descendants of parent org units.

Registered tools can have multiple deployments. Each individual deployment can be unique, supporting
the ability for different LTI extensions and Security Settings per deployment. Links can be created for use
in the org unit(s) from the Deployment, or users with permissions can create individual links at the org
level that link to the deployment.

1. In your D2L administrator account, click the Admin Tools icon  External Learning Tools
