Creating a Feature Bundle
You can create a new feature bundle in the Producer Portal from the Feature Bundle page of the Package Products pages.
Tip:Save time by starting with a copy of an existing feature bundle. Select the feature bundle you want to copy, click Copy, type a new feature bundle name, make any other necessary changes, and save the new feature bundle. This approach can save time and reduce the chance for errors.
