The XrmToolBox is a Windows application that connects to Dataverse and Dynamics 365 (CE). It empowers everyone working with the Power Platform and there are 100+ tools which can be used. It was originally created by Tanguy Touzard but today everyone can contribute both to the Windows application as well as to build tools.

How to get started

You download XrmToolBox from here and install it on your computer. When you run it for the first time you will need to connect to a Power Platform environment (which has a database). Connections are saved so next time you open XrmToolBox you’ll have your connection in place and just need to connect to it.

You find documentation here.

The Tools

The different 🛠 are found under Plugin store. You find a complete list of tool here.

Wiki pages describing XTB tools

These pages contain information about tools that the wiki authors have either tried out themselves or know of someone ekade who have tried them out. These pages will be updated soon to include more tools.

The hosts Jonas Rapp and Daryl LaBar discussed the history and future of XrmToolBox, Daryl and Jonas' experience creating tools and more. The hosts often invite the community and talk about tools related to XrmToolBox among other things and you might hear one or two dad jokes.
