Details view

The pane on the right side of the Package Manager window displays details about the selected package.

These details include the following information:

(A) The display name.

(B) The package version (and tag, if available)

(C) The official package name from the registry. Unity packages always start with “com.unity.”.

(D) The links to open the package documentation page, the package change log (if available), and the license information.

(E) The author.

(F) The date the package was published to the registry.

(G) A brief description.

(H) Dependency information. This section lists whether this package depends on another package and which version. Installed packages indicate the status of the dependencies after the version number. Packages without dependencies display the message “No dependencies”.

(I) Packages that include sample Assets display the samples along with an import button. To import the sample code, click the Import into project button next to the sample.

(J) Button to install or update a package (or the Up to date message if the selected version is already installed.)

(K) Buttons to remove or disable the package.

(L) The manifest button, which you can click to display the package.json manifest file in the Inspector view. If this is a local or an embedded package, you can edit it directly in the Inspector; otherwise, it is read-only.

Tags

Some packages display tags next to the version number. These tags convey information about the source or state of the package:

• Source tag types indicate where the package originates from (for example, whether it comes from a local directory or is downloaded from the package registry).
• State tag types indicate at the package’s stage of the development cycle. For example, whether it is in development, preview, or verified for a specific version of Unity.

Some source tags imply state tags and vice versa (for example, if a package is embedded in your Project, then Unity automatically assumes it is in development, so only the in development tag appears in the details view).

The Package Manager window displays the following values:

Note: If no tag appears beside the package version in the details view, it is production quality, which means it is fully validated, documented, supported, and incrementally updated.
