The authoring tools was  released by Valve as an update to the original [[Source SDK]]. Currently, the program is in an Open Beta state, which allows owners of Portal 2 to create and run their own custom-made maps. However, there are possible bugs within the system, so use of the program '''is cautioned'''.
