On the Navigator Environments tab, the packages table in the right column lists the packages included in the environment selected in the left column.

NOTE: Packages are managed separately for each environment. Changes you make to packages only apply to the active environment.

TIP: Click a column heading in the table to sort the table by package name, description, or version.

TIP: The Update Index button updates the packages table with all packages that are available in any of the enabled channels.

## Filtering the packages table

By default, only Installed packages are shown in the packages table. To filter the table to show different packages, click the arrow next to Installed, then select which packages to display: Installed, Not Installed, Upgradable or All.

NOTE: Selecting the Upgradable filter lists packages that are installed and have upgrades available.

## Finding a package

In the Search Packages box, type the name of the package.

## Installing a package

Navigator provides a convenient graphical interface for managing conda environments, channels and packages. But if you’re comfortable working with Anaconda Prompt or a terminal window, you can access additional, advanced management features. To learn more, see Managing packages with conda.
