The Project Packager Wizard simplifies the task of managing large file sets in an Altium Designer project by gathering and packaging source files, libraries, reports, data sheets, manufacturing files, etc., into a portable ZIP file. The Project Packager Wizard is useful when your project must be moved from one site to another, backing up your project for secure storage, packaging a complete Altium Designer project tree (ideal for linked PCB + FPGA + Embedded projects), or packaging a complete Altium Designer workspace.

While using the Project Packager Wizard, the settings allow you to manage how directory paths are handled during packaging, manage how files outside the project folder are handled during packaging, include/exclude generated files such as reports in the project package, and include/exclude history files (created by Altium Designer's built-in file history/restore system).
