Package using Sitecore Rocks

Working related to Package tasks using Sitecore Rocks is really amazing experience and absolutely pretty fast as compare to Sitecore Instance on Browser.



Let me describe why to work package related task with Sitecore rocks:

1. Suppose your package is outside to the package directory (by default which is inside <sitecore instance>/data/package), then you can easily upload and install that package using Sitecore Rocks, and i think this is not possible with Sitecore instance with Browser.

2. Speed, yes speed on the browser side most of the time package installation takes too much time or just loading and loading, But with Sitecore rocks it's pretty fast and easy.

3. You can create Anti Package at the time of installing package. And this is one of the best features of Sitecore rocks and will describe later why we should create Anti Package while installing package.

Please go through with below blogs related to Package tasks which divided into parts:

1. Upload/install Package using Sitecore Rocks
2. Creating Anti Package using Sitecore Rocks
3. Create Package Using Sitecore Rocks
