Open tools in a detached Toolbox
You can now open any Toolbox tool in its own detached panel straight from the Toolbox menu. Choose Open Detached, and Spotlight opens the separate Toolbox window with that tool already expanded and scrolled into view.
- Works from the Toolbox inside the main Spotlight panel.
- Opening a tool from Spotlight now scrolls to the selected tool after expanding it.
- Thanks Begum for reporting the black screen bug - it is fixed now!

Browse all Tools in one place
Spotlight now has a Tools section that gathers every tool into one browsable grid, so you can see what's available at a glance and open any of them with a click. Filter by app, with whichever one you're working in shown first.
- Click a tool to open it in the Toolbox, ready to use.
- Filter to all tools, Premiere Pro, or After Effects; your current app comes first.
- Free tools also show up on the Free page.
- Tell us which tools you'd like us to add, right from the panel.

Re-imports are faster and stay up to date
When you import an item you've already used in a project, Spotlight now reuses the copy it keeps next to your project instead of re-collecting everything, so re-imports are quicker and your existing files stay put. If the item has a newer version and you've updated it, your next import brings that version in automatically.
- Re-importing an item you already added reuses the assets collected alongside your project.
- Updated items pull their latest version into the project on your next import.
- In Premiere Pro, re-importing the same item now adds a fresh, separate copy each time.
- If a collected file ever goes missing or breaks, it's re-collected automatically.
