Creating Anti Package Using Sitecore Rocks

After uploading package using Sitecore rocks you will got an options to create anti-package.

So let me tell you why it's safe to create anti-package while installing package each time.

"Anti-package means it will take backup of the Items/Files which is going to overwritten after installing package"

Let me explain more, Suppose a scenario where you are working on client project and if you are going to install sitecore package directly without creating anti package. So once package will be installed you can not get back the previous changes because it's overwritten after installing package.
That's why every time sitecore rocks ask to create anti package before installing and after uploading package.


Now it's time to create anti-package:

So just chill it's a process of only one click that's it.

After uploading Sitecore package you will get this window, you need to just click on the Create Anti Package 

and congrats your anti package has been created, really it's pretty fast and easy.

Enjoy buddy.
Now go back to the url to upload/install package

Upload and Install Sitecore Package using Sitecore Rocks

Hello Guys,

let's start by uploading and installing package using Sitecore Rocks.

After creating connection of sitecore instance with sitecore rocks right click on the instance
as below we did and then select MANAGE PACKAGE option

after that select the package child of Sitecore Rocks Section, and now you will see all the uploaded sitecore package on the existing sitecore instance.

Now click on the Upload and install  as on the top Middle button appeared on the window.

and now select package which you want to install.

@NOTE: There is one interesting thing with rocks that you can select to upload package from file system of any path (not necessary to select from "data/package") as above image selected from Picture directory

Generally on the Sitecore instance from Browser side we need to upload the package from package directory.

after selecting the package will see Install package-properties. Now here we have an option to either first create anti-package before installation or skip this step and just install package which we uploaded.
