You can export workflows, policies, actions, plug-in references, resources, Web views, and configuration elements in packages. All elements that an element in a package implements are added to the package automatically, to ensure compatibility between versions. If you do not want to add the referenced elements, you can delete them in the package editor.

Verify that the Orchestrator server contains elements such as workflows, actions, and policies that you can add to a package.
