<h1 class="topictitle1">Create a Content Package</h1>
<div><div class="p"><p>Method content is organized into content packages which, in turn,
are contained in method plug-ins.</p>
Before creating a content package, you
should create a method plug-in. For more information, see <a href="createamethodplugin.html#createamethodplugin">Create a Method Plug-in</a>.</div>
<div class="section">You should always create a new <a href="methodcontentpackage.html#methodcontentpackage">Method Content Package</a> and <a href="methodcontent.html#creatingreusablemethodcontents">Method Content</a> in a <a href="methodplugin.html#methodplugin">Method Plug-in</a> that
you produce. This separates your content from original content shipped with
the tool and allows you to update your own library with new library releases
without affecting the content that you have created in your own plug-ins. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> You
cannot create a new content package or any other element in a locked plug-in.</div>
<p>To
create a content package:</p>
</div>
<ol><li><span>Find your method plug-in in the <a href="libraryview.html#libraryview">Library View</a>.</span></li>
<li><span>Drill into the plug-in to locate the package called <strong>Content
Packages</strong>. This package contains all packages that are allowed to contain
method elements.</span></li>
<li><span>Right click the content package and then select <strong>New &gt; Content
Package</strong>. The content package editor appears.</span></li>
<li><span>Under General Information, give the new content package a unique
name and provide a brief description.</span></li>
<li><span>Save the new content package in one of three ways:</span><ol type="a"><li><span>Click the disk icon in the toolbar.</span></li>
<li><span>Select <strong>File &gt; Save</strong>.</span></li>
<li><span>Simply close the content editor.</span></li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<div class="section"><div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The tool automatically creates nodes for <a href="task.html#task">Task</a>, <a href="role.html#role">Role</a>, <a href="workproduct.html#workproduct">Work Product</a>, and <a href="guidance.html#guidance">Guidance</a> under the new content package.</div>
