Custom Action List

Actions let you customize the behavior of the package by having it perform special operations at runtime. Here you can find the list of all actions currently available in Paquet Builder. It is strongly recommended that you read the documentation of each one before using it. Moreover, please be sure to read how the action properties editor works.

You can access to the help topic of a custom action directly by pressing the Help button in the Action Properties Editor.
