To assign new nodes to or remove nodes from a selected package, use the steps below:

2. Use the Search Node List field to search for nodes in your hierarchy. You can search by name or by custom ID. To show only nodes currently assigned to the package, select the Show only selected nodes checkbox.
3. Select the nodes you want to assign to or remove from the package. 
4. Select Yes to confirm and save your changes.

Delete a package

If you no longer need a package, you can delete it using the steps below:

1. Select the Actions column of the package you want to delete.
2. Select Delete, and then confirm that you want to delete the package.
