3. The system displays the list of available packages for selection.
4. Select the required packages and click **Add**.

5. After the packages are added, the following details are displayed:

* **Version**
* **Synced On**
* **Synced By**
* **Modified By**
* **Modified On**

<figure><img src="https://1890383800-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FDWyxe6hm5vqosFaByVgs%2Fuploads%2F7wnZdG5X8oqqeacwfjEa%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=2beec50f-2917-464a-bae7-ba6f52fbbde2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Metadata Behavior

6. For supported artifact types, ReleaseOwl retrieves the **Modified By** and **Modified On** details directly from **SAP Integration Suite**. Supported artifact types include:

* **IFLOW**
* **ODATAAPIPROVIDER**
* **SOAPAPIPROVIDER**
* **RESTAPIPROVIDER**

7. For the following artifact types, **SAP Integration Suite** does not expose metadata details through its public APIs:

* **SCRIPT\_COLLECTION**
* **MESSAGE\_MAPPING**
* **VALUE\_MAPPING**

8. For these artifact types, ReleaseOwl generates the **Modified By** and **Modified On** details based on internal processing activity, indicating when the artifact was last processed or updated within the platform
