Creating a package

You can create a package either by:

• Making a new, empty package to which you can add documents that you select.
• Converting an existing public collection into a package. For information about creating a public collection, see Creating and editing a collection.

In both cases, you select a publishing job to process the collection. The publishing job specifies where and how the package will be created.

You create a package by first selecting some or all of the items that you want to include in the package and then create the package.

To create a new, empty package:

1. In the view bar, click Collections. The Collections view appears.
2. In the Collections ribbon, click New collection. The NEW COLLECTION dialog box appears.
3. Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.

4. Click OK. The package appears in the list of collections.
5. Add documents to the package the same as if it were a package as described in Creating and editing a collection.

To convert an existing public collection into a package:

1. In the view bar, click Collections. The Collections view appears.

2. In the collections list, right-click the name of the collection that you want to convert and then click Change to Package on the context menu that appears. A confirmation dialog box appears.

3. Click YES. The EDIT dialog box appears.
4. On the PROFILE page, click options or type values using the descriptions in the preceding table.
5. On the DESTINATION page, click options or type values using the descriptions in Exporting a package.
6. Click OK to save your changes without exporting the package. To save your changes and export the package, see Exporting a package.
