# Package Items for Use in Marketing Cloud Engagement

Create a packaged solution to contain fully configured journeys, automations, content assets, data extensions, attribute groups, and more.

Before you begin, identify which items you want to package. Dependencies are packaged automatically.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-mktg-mc_marketing_cloud_overview-264-0-0-production-enus/2555afdb-8049-4e3c-8043-0e04803e5f16/images/icon_note.png)

Note There’s no limit to the number of items that you can include in a packaged solution. But each item must be smaller than 5 MB, and the packaged solution can’t exceed 50 MB.

1. Hover over the Platform menu, and select **Package Manager**.
2. On the Packaging tab, click **Create** and select **New Definition** or **From Existing**.
3. Select the items to include in the package. You can select any combination of supported objects.
    
    The selection view defaults to journeys, but you can click the tabs to view other objects.
    
    To view all selected items, click **Show Details**. To return to the grid view, click **Hide Details**.
    
    When you select an item, all its associated items are also included, such as email messages and data extensions.
4. Click **Save & Continue**.
    
    The number of items and dependencies packaged appears in the screen header.
5. To create items in the root folders of each app when you deploy the package rather than in the same folder structure of the source, deselect **Preserve Folder Structure**.
6. Click **Package Items**.
7. Review the items included and resolve any issues.
8. Click **Next**.
9. If the package includes customizable assets, such as personalization strings, logos, or names, configure and save the defaults and parameters.
10. Click **Download Package**.
    
    If you plan to deploy using the Engagement package manager, download as a ZIP.
    
    To host the file in a secure location and link to it from another package, download the JSON.

To update the package, use the same package definition to create a package containing updated versions of all items and deploy it.
