Types of deployment packages

As an administrator or an application business analyst, you can create and customize a codeless application.

After you create a codeless application, you can create an Install package for fresh installations of the application and an Update package to apply incremental updates to an existing application. Additionally, when you customize an application, you can create a content package to deploy your updates and data from one environment to the other.
