A package is a container for something as small as an individual component or as large as a set of related apps. Packages come in two forms—managed and unmanaged. We recommend using only managed packages to avoid naming conflicts with other packages in your customer’s org or your own. To create a managed package, use a Developer Edition org.

1. From Setup, enter Package in the Quick Find box, and then click **Package Manager**.
2. To package a Lightning Bolt Solution, select **Lightning Bolt Solution** as the component type, and select your solution. To package a standalone Experience Builder template, theme, or page, select **Lightning Community Template**, **Lightning Community Theme**, or **Lightning Page**, respectively, as the component type to add.
    
    All supported dependencies are included.

3. Upload the package. Then distribute it on AppExchange, or share the link privately with your clients, customers, or partners.
