Package Manager window

Use the Unity Package Manager (in Unity’s top menu: Window > Package Manager) to view which packages are available for installation or already installed in your project. In addition, you can use this window to see which versions are available, and install, remove, disable, or update packages for each project.

Status bar

The Package Manager displays messages in the status bar at the bottom left of the Package Manager window.

There are typically four status messages that you might see:

  • The first time you open the Package Manager window in a new project, the Loading packages message appears briefly:

    Loading packages message
    Loading packages message

    This message also appears when you select Refresh list from the reload drop-down menu.

  • Most of the time the status bar displays the date and time of when the Package Manager window last refreshed its information:

    Last update message
    Last update message
  • However, if the Package Manager detects a problem, such as a missing network connection, the Package Manager displays an error in the status bar:

    Network error message
    Network error message
  • If your network connection is working, but you are not signed into your Unity account, the Package Manager doesn’t display any Asset Store packages. When you try to use the My Assets scope, the Package Manager displays an error in the status bar:

    Logged out of Unity account

    In the list view, click the Sign in button to sign into your Unity account through the Unity Hub.
