# Accessing packages

## Introduction

To access all virtual environment packages associated with your company profile, [log in to the dashboard](https://app.wearepatchworks.com/virtual-environments) and select `virtual environments` ➤ `packages` from the left-hand navigation menu. From here, you can view a list of existing packages, manage an existing package, or create a new package.

## Understanding the packages page

The `packages` page lists all existing packages, irrespective of [deployment](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/virtual-environment-packages/managing-packages/deploying-a-package.md) status - for example:

Available information and options are summarised [below](#information-and-options). For more information about package details, please refer to [The anatomy of a package](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/virtual-environment-packages/accessing-packages/the-anatomy-of-a-package.md).

### Information & options

* [The package list](#the-package-list)
* [Searching for packages](#search-packages)
* [Creating a new package](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/virtual-environment-packages/creating-a-package.md)

#### The package list

<table><thead><tr><th width="201.55078125">Column</th><th>Summary</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Name</td><td>The name provided when this package was <a href="/pages/uFsfgRfHPmzyyP57WWSM">created</a>.  </td></tr><tr><td>Flows</td><td>The number of flow versions <a href="/pages/uFsfgRfHPmzyyP57WWSM">added to this package</a>.</td></tr><tr><td>Deployments</td><td>The number of times this package has been deployed (to any virtual environment).</td></tr><tr><td>Enabled flows</td><td>The total number of associated flows that are currently enabled in the deployed virtual environments. When a package is deployed, all associated flows are deployed AND enabled. However, keep in mind that a flow deployment can subsequently be <a href="/pages/S7ZXvG3q7xvcFezsI1dS">disabled</a> or <a href="/pages/GCXZ3yan8tOdpSqWGASD">deleted</a> from a virtual environment.</td></tr><tr><td>Created at</td><td>The date and time (UTC) that the package was <a href="/pages/uFsfgRfHPmzyyP57WWSM">created</a>.</td></tr><tr><td>...</td><td>Access <a href="#manage-packages">options to manage the associated packag</a>e.</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Search packages

As your list of packages grows, it may be useful to search by package name. Just enter the required string to be matched anywhere in the package name - for example:

<figure><img src="/files/cQ0we7fBDc3VonW4OZ02" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Manage packages

The ellipsis icon associated with each package entry can be used to access options for managing that package:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/nJ01YsuE1kg7psw4QJrV" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

From here, you can:

* [Compare the package](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/virtual-environment-packages/managing-packages/comparing-packages.md)
* [Deploy the package](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/virtual-environment-packages/managing-packages/deploying-a-package.md)
* [Delete the package](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/virtual-environment-packages/managing-packages/deleting-a-package.md)
