3. In the **Built by Wix** tab, search for the package you want to add to your site. Note that you can view the README for each package on the right side of the Package Manager. 4. Click **Install**. The **Install** button changes to a **View** button, and you can see an option to turn on automatic updates for future minor versions. When this option is turned on, you won't need to do anything if there are any minor updates to the package. When this option is turned off, you'll have to manually update the package if there are any minor updates to the package.

Clicking **View** directs you to the **Packages & Apps** section of the Code sidebar (Wix Editor) or Code sidebar (Wix Studio) where you can see the installed Velo package. If there is a major update available for a package installed on your site, or if there is a minor update available and the automatic updates option toggle is turned off, you'll see a blue dot next to the package. >**Note** > By installing a Velo Package that uses an npm package, you agree to that npm module's license agreement. ### Using an Installed Package Once you install a package, read the package's README file. The README includes all the information you need to work with the package: initial setup prerequisites, which exported functions are available for use, and how to use the package. To use the package functions, you'll need to import them in your code. Use the **@velo namespace** to import Velo packages. Note that import statements within the **@velo namespace** differ depending on the location and type of package file the function is exported from. To import backend functions, use the following syntax: ```javascript import { } from '@velo/-backend'; ``` For example, assuming the **twitter-integration** package has been installed, you can use its **tweet()** function as follows: ```javascript import { tweet } from '@velo/twitter-integration-backend'; ``` To import public functions, use the following syntax: ```javascript import { } from '@velo/'; ``` For example, assuming the **wix-data-helpers** package has been installed, you can use its **getRandomItem()** function as follows: ```javascript import { getRandomItem } from '@velo/wix-data-helpers'; ```

**Notes** * If you want to use backend functions from a .js file in your page code, wrap the function in a [web module](https://support.wix.com/en/article/velo-web-modules-calling-server-side-code-from-the-front-end), and import the web module to your page code. * Some Velo packages include web modules. You can call web module functions directly from your backend code, public code, or page code. Import them with the syntax for importing backend functions.

To learn more about which import statements to use for each Velo package, see the package's README file. #### Package Examples To help you understand how to use specific Velo packages on your site, we added some examples to the [Coding Examples site](https://dev.wix.com/docs/coding-examples.md) that integrate Velo packages. You can open an example site and see the code we added to work with the package. You'll see a Velo Package tag on examples that integrate a Velo Package. ![](https://d2x3xhvgiqkx42.cloudfront.net/12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567890ab/0ca9e8ba-16ed-4cd8-a1e1-58d01c4420f7/2021/03/09/d1e90191-541b-4137-b707-555c787c0cb3/3c5630de-e7cb-4c1b-9227-cad7618faacd.png)

**Note:** These package examples and their steps are based on Wix Editor sites. You can adapt the steps for a Wix Studio site by using the equivalent [Wix Studio](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/coding-with-velo/overview/about-coding-with-wix-studio.md#finding-your-way) features.

### Updating a Package's Version If there is a **minor update** to a package installed on your site: * If the automatic updates option toggle is turned on, the package will update automatically. * If the automatic updates option toggle is turned off, you'll see a blue dot next to the package in the Code sidebar. If there is a **major update** to a package installed on your site, you'll see a blue dot next to the package in the Code sidebar. To update the package on your site: 1. Hover over the dot and click **See Release Notes** in the tooltip.

The Package Manager opens and you can see the available update.

2. In the README on the right side of the Package Manager, scroll down to the Release Notes section to view the relevant changes for this update. 3. If you want to update the package, click **Update to X.X.X**. You can view all versions of a package by clicking the ellipsis icon **>** **See all versions**.

**Important** After applying a package update, make sure that the code on your site is compatible with the updated version of the package.

### Uninstalling a Package To uninstall a package: 1. In the **Velo Packages** section of the Code sidebar (Wix Editor) or the Code sidebar (Wix Studio), hover over the package you want to uninstall. Click the ellipsis ![](https://d2x3xhvgiqkx42.cloudfront.net/12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567890ab/11e10e4f-b84d-4136-a5a9-6109fab0b7d7/2020/10/25/347cc5c6-bce3-4407-82c3-e211e02cab98/398ced84-9ef5-4f70-87cd-4cb39a66dd65.png) icon, and select **Uninstall**. 2. The package is removed from the **Velo Packages** section of the Code sidebar (Wix Editor) or the Code Sidebar (Wix Studio).

**Warning** When you uninstall a package, you may break code that relies on that package.

### Requesting a Package To request that a package be added to the list of Velo packages built by Wix, click **Make a request for a new Velo package** at the bottom of the Package Manager.
