Automatic package creation – project package settings

Question

Hi! 
 When creating a project with publication to GroupShare, a subfolder with a project package is always created at the same time. However, I did not make any settings for this package and did not specify any users. Is this just a dummy and the folder for a package to be configured by me? If not, what basic settings are made here? 
 Thanks for your feedback! 
 Best regards, Manuel

Hi - some supplemental info and further questions here: 
 The package in reference to the SDLPPX file can be located under the Packages>Out folder. 
 Personally, I&rsquo; ve never noticed this until I just checked a previously created-in-Studio GS project in 2021, but it is indeed there. 
 FYI &ndash; I &rsquo; ve noticed that it &rsquo; s present in the Studio 2019 folders stack as well, so I am assuming it must be by design and serves some purpose, but I have no idea what. 
 
 I tried opening the package from GS/2021 in 2019 but an error was thrown. I also attempted to open a package from Manuel's workspace and received the same error. 
 
 I&rsquo; m pretty curious now as to what this is about, but it seems to be fairly innocuous. 
 
 Best, 
 Demian
