Package and Distribute Lightning Bolt Solutions or Pages

After you export a Lightning Bolt solution or a page, you can create a managed package to distribute it to other users or orgs, including those outside your company. You can also upload solutions for distribution on AppExchange.

A package is a container for something as small as an individual component or as large as a set of related apps. Packages come in two forms—unmanaged and managed—but we recommend using only managed packages to avoid naming conflicts with other packages in your customer’s org or your own. To create a managed package, use a Developer Edition org.

  1. From Setup, enter Package in the Quick Find box, and then click Packages.
  2. To package an exported Lightning Bolt solution, select Lightning Bolt Solution as the component type and add your solution to the package. To package an exported page, select Lightning Page as the component type.
    All supported dependencies are included.

  3. Upload the package. Then distribute it on AppExchange, or share the link privately with your clients, customers, or partners.
