Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Toolset offers limited integration with both Astra and Elementor. Actually - its your choice with what you would like to go and you should test it first before you chose any option.

Here is the Doc that shows how you can use Toolset with Astra:
- https://toolset.com/documentation/recommended-themes/using-toolset-with-astra-theme/

Here is the Doc that shows how you can use Elementor with Toolset:
- https://toolset.com/course-lesson/using-toolset-with-elementor-page-builder/

I suggest best option for you to learn Toolset quickly and export its capabilities:

You can use our free test platform http://www.discover-wp.com and use any of our reference site that is build on top using Toolset features even with Astra theme.

This will allow you to create a test site or our free test platform: http://www.discover-wp.com
- https://discover-wp.com/site-templates/

In addition to that - if you want to install any of our reference site we offer on http://www.discover-wp.com on your local machine/server, you can use the framework installer plugin:
- https://toolset.com/course-lesson/using-framework-installer-to-install-reference-sites/

Once you create test site using any of the reference site on your local machine or server - you can add your additional plugins like Elementor page builder or install required Astra theme and check and test and explore and take decision with your findings that is it required or not.

By following this path you will have hand-on experience about how you can implement the functionality using Toolset or check the existing features of the current referent site that will give you idea how its built.

you can also try to follow any of the course we offer:

Thanks,

I am quoting you : "Toolset offers limited integration with both Astra and Elementor. Actually - its your choice with what you would like to go and you should test it first before you chose any option."

What do you mean by "Limited"

Thanks

Limited means not all the features or options supported.

For instance as you can see with Astra Doc and with the screenshot highlighted as you can see only those options are supported.

There are few known issues as well:
