# Distributing Your CanvasLifecycleHandler Class

If you package and distribute your canvas app, make sure to include your CanvasLifecycleHandler class in your package.

Use the following steps to include your CanvasLifecycleHandler implementation in your canvas app package.

1.  In Salesforce, from Setup, enter `Packages` in the `Quick Find` box, then select **Packages**.

2.  Find the package for your canvas app, and then click the package name to go to the package detail page.

3.  On the package detail page, under Components, click **Add**.

4.  In the Add to Package page, in the `Component Type` field, select **Apex Class**. A list of available Apex classes is shown.

5.  Select the checkbox next to your Apex class for your CanvasLifecycleHandler implementation, and then click **Add To Package**.
