How do I add a stealthed LTI tool to a site via External Tools admin?

Stealthed tools are tools which are available in your instance, but are hidden from non-admin users when they select which tools they want to use in a site. In Sakai 10, it is possible for admins to pre-configure LTI tools in the system, and stealth them individually via the External Tools admin interface. You would do this by selecting the "Stealthed" under Tool Visibility when adding a new LTI tool in the admin External Tools area. (This can be done instead of stealthing the External Tools feature completely in all courses.) In order to add an individually stealthed LTI tool to a site, the admin user needs to manually add it to the desired site via External Tools in the Administration Workspace.

In the Administration Workspace, go to External Tools.

In the Administration Workspace, go to External Tools.

Note: If you want the tool to appear as an item in the Tool Menu of the site, check the box next to Add Site Link.
