The PackageTools package provides tools for managing workbook-based packages.

The Create command creates a workbook while the AddAttachment command adds attachments, such as file containing package code, to a workbook.

The GetProperty and SetProperty commands provide capabilities to retrieve (get) and set named properties (for example, "name" and "author") of a workbook, respectively.

The GetModules command retrieves the name for any saved modules in a workbook-based package.

The SupplyPassword command allows you to unlock a password-protected workbook for the current session.  You can then access the password-protected content with general Maple commands.

The Install and Uninstall commands install or uninstall package workbooks.

The IsPackageInstalled command returns a true-false value based on if a package is installed.

The ListInstalledPackages returns a list of installed packages.

Each command in the PackageTools package can be accessed by using either the long form or the short form of the command name in the command calling sequence.

The commands in the PackageTools package are:

$\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{PackageTools}\right)\:$

The PackageTools package was introduced in Maple 2017.
