# Index Pack Manager
## Purpose
Index Pack Manager supervises installed or available index packages.
Use it to see which packages are present and how they affect local search.
## What You Can Do Here
- Index Pack Manager supervises installed or available index packages.
- Define the source, target, format, collection, and expected size before starting.
- Monitor progress because large transfers continue beyond the initial request.
## Page Architecture
Import and export pages translate external data formats into YaCy documents or move YaCy index data into another store. Most long-running actions create background work that should be monitored afterward.
## Correct Use
Use the manager to inspect packages before installing or removing them. Package changes can alter what local searches find without running a new crawl.
## Access And Safety
Administrator access is required. YaCy protects `_p` pages as administration pages.
Protected related endpoint(s): `/IndexPackManager_p.html`.
## Automation And API
Page backend: `source/net/yacy/htroot/IndexPackManager_p.java`.
| Endpoint | Method | Access | Backend |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `/IndexPackManager_p.html` | `GET or POST` | admin | `source/net/yacy/htroot/IndexPackManager_p.java` |
### Parameter Guide
The table explains values that an agent or script must set deliberately. Parameters not relevant to a task should be omitted or left at the page default.
| Parameter | Meaning and valid values | Care |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `delete` | Deletes the selected URL, path, or index scope. Confirm the scope first. | Can remove data, stop work, expose access, or make a broad operational change. Use only with explicit confirmation and an exact target. |
| `file` | Selected or uploaded file. | Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default. |
Example request shape:
```http
GET or POST /IndexPackManager_p.html?delete=...&file=...&mvfrom=...&mvto=...
```
## What To Expect
The page should show package state, installed packages, or available package actions. Search results may change after package installation or removal.
## Related Pages
- Related transfer work is usually reached through the import/export page for the same format, the index-pack pages, or the queue/status page that reports progress.
