About packages in Starter and Express
A package is a file structure which contains all the files that need to be sent to a project team member for them to commence work on the project. It can also contain work that has been completed.
You can receive project packages or send return packages by email, FTP site or any other method that you prefer to use to send it to the team member. SDL WorldServer packages can be returned directly from Studio. Using project packages eliminates the need to send multiple files or multiple emails and enables all project information to be sent with project files in a coherent structure.

| Return Package | A return package contains project files for which a specific manual task has been completed. In Starter and Express, you create return packages to send back completed work to the person who originally sent you the project package. For example, project files that have been translated or reviewed. It can also contain files for which further work needs to be completed. For example, a reviewer may want to return a translated file because of an incorrect translation which the translator needs to fix. |
