The Composer application allows you to build and edit packages of software, applications, preference files, or documents. Building a package involves the following:

• Creating a package source—You can create a package source that contains the files you want to package or convert an existing package to a source to edit the package contents.

• Building a package—You can build a PKG or a DMG from a package source.

You can also do the following with Composer:

• Build a DMG of an operation system (OS).

• Monitor the installation of software packages.

• Add or edit localization files.

• Create package manifests and import or upload package manifests with Jamf Nation.
