# Manage an agent installation package

You can manage agent installation packages on the **Agent Installations** page. To manage a specific package, right-click the agent version, and select the desired action:

* **Edit** the package name or description.
* **Delete** the installation package. Deleting an installation package does not uninstall the Cortex XDR agent software from any endpoints.

  <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><h3>Note</h3><p>Since Cortex XDR relies on the installation package ID to approve agent registration during the installation, we recommend that you don't delete the installation package of active endpoints. If you install the Cortex XDR agent from a package after you delete it, Cortex XDR denies the registration request leaving the agent in an unprotected state. Hiding the installation package removes it from the default list of available installation packages, and can be useful for preventing confusion within the management console main view. The hidden installation can be viewed by removing the default filter.</p></div>
* **Copy text to clipboard** to copy the text from a specific field in the row of an installation package.
* **Hide** installation packages. Using the Hide option provides a quick method to filter out results based on a specific value in the table. You can also use the filters at the top of the page to build a filter from scratch. To create a persistent filter, save (![save-icon.png](/files/iTPxMc0BpTjT5g5FglIc)) it.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xdr-3.x/cortex-xdr-3.x-documentation/endpoint-security/install-and-manage-endpoints/set-up-endpoint-protection/create-an-agent-installation-package/manage-an-agent-installation-package.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
