<span data-tool="upload1" title="Tested with upload1" class="tool galaxy-proxy-active"><strong>Import some data</strong> <i class="fas fa-wrench" aria-hidden="true"></i><i aria-hidden="true" class="fas fa-cog"></i><span class="visually-hidden">Tool: upload1</span></span>

### How to find these IDs?

The easiest way is to use planemo to generate the training from a workflow. In recent versions of planemo, this is managed automatically.

The alternative is to figure out the ID for the tool you want to use:

1. Find your tool in Galaxy, and click to access the tool form.
2. Click on Options at the top right
3. Click on Share
4. The URL shown will be something like `https://usegalaxy.eu/root?tool_id=toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/galaxyp/mz_to_sqlite/mz_to_sqlite/2.0.4+galaxy1`
5. Keep only the part after the `=`, so `toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/galaxyp/mz_to_sqlite/mz_to_sqlite/2.0.4+galaxy1` in this example
