# Automation Repository Upload Packages

:lock: AutomationRepository.**Upload**

The Upload Packages wizard allows the user to overwrite or upload new packages into the repository. The user can add the packages either by selecting in top right plus button or by drag and dropping the packages to upload. If the flag `Overwrite existing Packages` is checked, it will overwrite the current packages with the new one's, if the flag is not checked and the system finds two packages that are the same, it will skip those and report back an error message, for that package.

To upload a new package, select **Upload Package** and then follow the wizard as described below.

1. Select the :material-plus: icon.
2. Choose the `.tgz` file you want to upload.
3. If you wish to overwrite an existing package instead of adding a new one, select **Overwrite Existing Packages**.
4. Select the **Upload Packages** button to finish the operation and commit the packages to the repository.
