# Activate a Flexcard (Managed Package)

For the managed package runtime, activate a Flexcard to generate an LWC and publish it to a Lightning page or Experience Builder site. After you activate a Flexcard, you can’t edit it or add elements to it.

Before you begin, review your Flexcard's appearance and test its functionality. See

![Managed Package app icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-omnistudio_for_managed_packages-264-0-0-production-enus/aa2554ec-624a-4ee6-8da4-6435670e6e62/resources-global/_corporate/images/managedpackageicon.png) This information is for Omnistudio for Managed Packages. For Omnistudio on standard runtime, see [Omnistudio Help](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.os_omnistudio_standard.htm&language=en_US).

[Preview a Flexcard (Managed Package)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.os_preview_a_flexcard.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "For the managed package runtime, preview your Flexcard's appearance and functionality before publishing it to a Lightning page or Experience Builder site. In Preview, test how your Flexcard looks on multiple devices and test the functionality of action links and other interactive elements.").

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-omnistudio_for_managed_packages-264-0-0-production-enus/aa2554ec-624a-4ee6-8da4-6435670e6e62/images/icon_note.png)

Note After the release 246 upgrade, the managed package runtime uses metadata deployment instead of the tooling API. Metadata deployment requires that you wait for the parent Flexcard to be activated before you activate dependent cards.

1. To activate a Flexcard from the Flexcard designer:
    
    1. From the Flexcards tab, click a version of a Flexcard to open the Flexcard Designer.
    2. To initiate the activation wizard, click **Activate** in the submenu.
    3. Click **Done**.
2. To activate a Flexcard from the Flexcards home tab:
    
    1. In the Flexcards home tab in your org, click a Flexcard to view available versions.
    2. Select the checkbox next to the inactive Flexcard you want to activate.
    3. Click **Activate**.

What’s next: Configure Publish Options to define metadata values and add a custom component SVG icon for your generated LWC. See [Configure Publish Options on a Flexcard (Managed Package)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.os_configure_publish_options_on_a_flexcard.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "For the managed package runtime, define metadata values, such as where your Flexcard is visible, and update the component SVG icon for your Flexcard before publishing your component to a Lighting or Experience page. For example, to view your Flexcard on an Experience site you can enable Community Page under Targets in Publish Options.").
