# Custom Applicant Status Portal - Account Tools
This article describes the procedure for adding an **Account Tools** section to a custom **Applicant Status Portal** using static content blocks.
**Account Tools** allows the applicant to change their email address, change their password, and log out. When adding **Account Tools** to a custom status portal, decide the options that are presented to the applicant.

## Adding a static content block
1. Drag a **Static Content** block to the location where the **Account Tools** should reside. Most institutions include this block toward the bottom of the status portal.
2. In the **Source Code** of the static content block, copy and paste the following code.
3. Replace `status` with the key of the portal you are editing. For example, if the key of the portal was `gr_status`, the referrer would be `/portal/gr_status`.
```xml
Account Tools:
Change Email Address
Change
Password
Logout
```
4. Make any additional formatting and text changes desired. For example, you can change the text of `Change Password` to `Change Your Password Here!` but the links should remain the same.
