In the Package Manager window, the pane on the right displays details of the selected package.
These details include the following information:
(A) The display name.
(B) The package version, the date the package was published to the registry or the Asset Store, and any source or asset labels. Other information might display, if applicable:
(C) The registry that hosts the package and the package author (Unity packages only), or the package publisher (Asset Store).
(D) The package name.
(E) For Unity packages, the links to open the package documentation page, the package change log (if available), and the license information. For Asset Store packages, the links to open the Asset Store package’s official page on the Asset Store, and if available, links to the publisher’s website and their support page.
(F) Package details tabs, which vary by package type:
(G) Button(s) to unlock, install, update, remove, or disable the Unity package.
(H) Button(s) to download, import, or update the Asset Store package.
Some packages and Asset Store packages display labels next to the package name or version number. These labels provide information about the source or state of the package:
Some source labels imply state labels and vice versa (for example, if a package is embedded in your project, then Unity automatically assumes it is a custom package in development, so only the custom label appears in the details view).
The Package Manager window displays the following values:
Label | Type | Meaning |
---|---|---|
Released | state | Unity officially released this package and fully supports it. The Quality Assurance team has tested this version of the package and guarantees that it works with a specific version of the Editor and all other packages released for that Editor version. |
Release Candidate | state | This version of the package is on track to be fully “released” within the next TECH stage of the current release cycle. |
Pre-Release | state | This version of the package is at an earlier stage of development, but Unity guarantees to release it by the end of the LTS release cycle. It might not have complete documentation, or it might not be fully validated by either the development team or Unity’s Quality Assurance team. |
Experimental | state | These packages are either new packages or contain experimental modifications. Unity does not support Experimental packages because they are in the early stages of development. |
Custom | state source |
This package is embedded in your project. Most custom package developers start by embedding a new package in their project, which is why the “Custom” label appears. |
local | source | The Package Manager installed this package from a folder or tarball file on your local disk external to your Unity project folder. |
git | source | The Package Manager installed this package in your project directly from a Git repository. |
asset store | asset | This is an Asset Store package that you purchased or downloaded from the Asset Store. |
deprecated | asset | This package is no longer available on the Asset Store unless you have downloaded or purchased it previously. That is, it is no longer discoverable by new customers. Note: This label applies only to Asset Store packages. Unity packages that have been deprecated never appear in the Unity Editor. |
