I am creating my own toolbox following these steps, indicated by Mathworks.
Once the toolbox is created I woul like to give the user to setup the toolbox. I notice that this option exists for many support packages, like e.g. Embedded Coder Support Package for Xilinx Zynq Platform. In these cases a setup icon appears in the line corresponding to the toolbox in the Add-On Manager (see followinf figure).
Is there a way to add this option to my own toolbox?
Thanks

If you create a toolbox (*.mltbx), it will appear in the Add-Ons Explorer once installed.
If you want users to be able to download your toolbox using the Add-Ons explorer, you must submit your toolbox to the File Exchange.

Thank you for your help.
Probably I didn't explain myself clearly enough. I already know how to create a toolbox, install it and eventually share it.
What I miss is the possibility to configure the toolbox I created and installed from the Add-On Manager.
Once the toolbox is installed, I would like to give the user the possibility to store some files on a SD memory. Notice that something similar is done in other support packages (e.g. by Xilinx), so it is technically possible. Actually, when this fiature is implemented you get a small icon next to your custom toolbox in the Add-On Manager. How do I get that icon to appear?

Hmm. The gear icon is for a hardware setup process. I wonder if this page contains anythign helpful.
