In the top menu, click the Administration tab.

If a version number is set, then this value is displayed in the UI. If not, then a version number is calculated, based on the spec version and implementation version in MANIFEST.MF (for EARs and WARs) or the calculated SHA-256 value for the package itself. Internally, the package is identified by the SHA value.
```
SPEC(IMPLEMENTATION)[sha256=abcd1234]
```
```
SPEC(IMPLEMENTATION)[sha256=abcd1234]
```

Note
For exploded content for EARs and WARs, the calculated SHA-256 version number is written into the MANIFEST.MF file.
Click the CREATE PACKAGE button to finish adding the package to the repository.
