# Manage an agent installation package

Manage Cortex XDR agent installation packages and their deployment settings in Cortex XSIAM.

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"><p>Since Cortex XSIAM 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 XSIAM 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](data:image/png;base64,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)](https://docs-cortex.paloaltonetworks.com/viewer/attachment/GD6sG6FlxDWxAn13_eZuUQ/91mu4_uQylT4jcevVn7qvg-GD6sG6FlxDWxAn13_eZuUQ)) it.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsiam/protect-your-endpoints/endpoint-security/install-and-manage-endpoints/create-an-agent-installation-package/manage-an-agent-installation-package.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
