How to Create Project Packages

Project packages enable you to send project files and associated data to project team members in one simple file.

Create Project Package Wizard

To start the wizard, do one of the following:

  • Click Projects view > Home tab > Packages group > Create Project Package. The Create Project Package wizard is displayed on the Select Files page. All files in the project, except for reference files, are included in the list.
  • Select files that you want to include in the package in the Files view and right-click and select Create Project Package from the shortcut menu. The Create Project Package wizard is displayed on the Select Files page. Only the selected files are included in the list. If you want to create a package containing files for a single language, this is the best place to launch the wizard (as the Files view is language specific).
The Create Project Package wizard contains the following pages. This is an overview of the process. Click each link below for step-by-step instructions:
