Features (detail) view

In the Package Manager window, when you select a feature set from the list on the left, the pane on the right displays details of the selected feature set. The details pane presents the contents of the feature set as a kind of miniature Package Manager window:

(A) When you select a feature set from the list view, its information appears in the details pane.

(B) The name and author of the feature set. The label always appears because feature sets are always matched to a specific version of the Editor and contain released packages that are supported for that version.

(C) A brief overview of the feature set’s purpose

(D) A link to the QuickStart guide for this feature set, containing details of how you can use this set of packages together

(E) An expander icon to toggle between showing and hiding the list of included packages and their details

1. The list of included packages. Select a package to view its details on the right.
2. The details of the selected package. The information shown is limited to the name of the package, the recommended or installed version for the feature set, and its description.
3. A shortcut to load the package in the Package Manager window (replacing the feature set in the packages list and details view). When you access details from the package directly, the Package Manager provides more information than when you access them from inside the feature set (for example, the dependencies information or any samples a package contains).

(F) A button to Install or Remove the feature set.

Package version overrides

Feature sets are collections of packages that work well together for a specific version of Unity, which means the Package Manager installs specific package versions that your feature set requires. However, there are a couple of reasons why the Package Manager might actually install a different version (override the requested version):

• You requested a different package version and it didn’t conflict with the version that the feature set requires. In this case, you can click the Reset button to return to the version that the feature set requires (recommended).
• Another package or feature set required a different version of the same package and the Package Manager resolved the package version by overriding it. In this case, the Reset button is disabled because the Package Manager determined the best version to install.

If the Package Manager installs a different version for any reason, an information message explains the reason for the change.
