# Verge App Toolbox

The Verge App Toolbox provides a centralized way to install, update, launch, and uninstall Verge's desktop software — **AEROStudio** and **AEROConsole**. The latest version of the toolbox can be downloaded at any time from our [downloads page](https://portal.verge.aero/downloads).

## Logging in

Sign in with your Verge account email and password. If you don't have a connection to the internet, click **Offline Mode** to launch builds you previously installed — see [Offline Mode](/drone-show-software/quickstart/offline-mode.md) for details.

The streams available to you after logging in are dictated by your desktop permissions, which are managed by your organization's administrators in the Verge Web Portal.

## Simple mode

Simple mode is the default and is designed to get you launched as quickly as possible. Pick **AEROStudio** or **AEROConsole** in the left navbar and you'll see a single, large **Launch** button targeting the build you most recently launched (the stream and version are shown dimmed above the button).

* **Launch** runs the highlighted build immediately.
* **Select** opens a picker so you can choose a different installed build as the launch target.
* **Install** opens the install dialog so you can add another version.
* A small launch-options cog appears next to **Launch** when the target build defines launch modes (for example, different startup configurations). Click it to choose which mode to use; your choice is remembered for next time.
* An **Updates available** toast appears in the bottom-right whenever any installed stream has a newer build. Dismiss it once you've seen it.

## Switching to Advanced mode

Click the **Simple** toggle in the header to switch to Advanced mode, which exposes the full table of installed builds, per-row launch and uninstall actions, stream filtering, and the install modal. See [Advanced Mode](/drone-show-software/quickstart/advanced-mode.md) for the full breakdown.
