Answers.Text: Thanks @Devon, I removed the suffix `.sample` and it worked. I believe that galaxy folks could improve/update their manual.

Title: Add new tool to galaxy
ThreadText: # Add new tool to galaxy
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2019-12-02)
  
  I am trying to include a new tool to the galaxy main menu, following [these](https://galaxyproject.org/admin/tools/add-tool-tutorial/) instructions.  
  `tool_conf.xml` doesn't exists only `tool_conf.xml.main` and `tool_conf.xml.sample` and none of them seem to be working. I make changes and nothing happens when I run galaxy.
  
  What am I missing?
  
  Thank you.
