# 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
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <p style="margin-top:50px;text-align:center;">
        <span style="font-weight:bold;margin-right:1em;">Account Tools:</span>
        <a href="/account/migrate" style="margin-right:1em;">Change Email Address</a>
        <a href="/account/password?r=/portal/status&amp;referrer=/portal/status" style="margin-right:1em;">Change
            Password</a>
        <a href="/account/logout?r=/portal/status&amp;referrer=/portal/status" style="margin-right:1em;">Logout</a>
    </p>
</body>
</html>
```
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.
