# Updating a package

## Introduction

You can add and remove process flow versions to/from a package up to the time the package is deployed. Once a package is deployed, it cannot be changed.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you need to change the flows associated with a deployed package, you should [create a new package](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/virtual-environment-packages/creating-a-package.md).
{% endhint %}

## The steps

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Access virtual environment packages**

[Log in to the dashboard](https://app.wearepatchworks.com/virtual-environments) and select `virtual environments` | `packages` from the left-hand navigation menu.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Find the required package**

Locate the package that you want to update (you can scroll the list, step through multiple pages, or search):

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Select the required package**

Click the name of the package that you want to update:

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Add/remove flows**

To remove a flow from the package, click the associated `remove` button:

{% hint style="info" %}
The associated flow is removed from the package immediately (this does not affect the flow itself).
{% endhint %}

To add a flow to the package, click the `add flow` button and then choose which version to add:

For more information about adding flows to a package, please refer to [Creating a package](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/virtual-environment-packages/creating-a-package.md).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
You won't see `add flow` or `remove` buttons if the selected package has been deployed.
