When your package is successfully published, you receive a confirmation email. To see the published package, go to nuget.org, select your user name in the upper-right corner, and then select Manage Packages.
Note
It might take a while for your package to be indexed and to appear in search results where others can find it. During that time, your package appears under Unlisted Packages, and the package page shows the following message:
:::image type="content" source="../media/qs-create-not-indexed.png" alt-text="Screenshot of a nuget.org warning message about the package not being published yet. The text states that validation and indexing can take an hour.":::
Now that your NuGet package is published at nuget.org, other developers can use it in their projects.
If you create a package that isn't useful (such as this sample package from an empty class library), or if you don't want the package to be visible, you can unlist the package to hide it from search results:
-
After the package appears under Published Packages on the Manage Packages page, select the pencil icon next to the package listing.
:::image type="content" source="../media/qs-create-vs-edit-package.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the nuget.org Packages page. The Published Packages section lists one package. Its edit icon is highlighted.":::
-
On the next page, select Listing, clear the List in search results checkbox, and then select Save.
:::image type="content" source="../media/qs-create-vs-unlist-package.png" alt-text="Screenshot of a nuget.org page. In the Listing section, the option for listing the package in search results is highlighted.":::
The package now appears under Unlisted Packages in Manage Packages and no longer appears in search results.
Note
To avoid your test package being live on nuget.org, you can push to the nuget.org test site at https://int.nugettest.org. Note that packages uploaded to int.nugettest.org might not be preserved.
