# Add or Remove an Instance

An *instance* is a specific environment in which you can deploy packages, and the environment has a URL that contains a root and a company. Normally, companies will move a package through a series of environments from *Design/Development*, *Testing*, *Acceptance*, through to *Production*. The Deployment Manager allows you to manage this process.

### Add a New Instance

To add a new instance in the Deployment Manager, click the ***+*** sign in the column of the environment type in which you want to create that instance: *Design*, *Test*, *Accept*, or *Production*.

Enter the name for the instance, enter the URL, and click ***Add***. For a design instance, the system prepopulates the URL.

For additional information regarding an instance, click the ***i*** in a circle next to that instance. The system opens a screen that displays a list of all the deployment sets and packages installed on that server. For example, here is a sample listing of Production instance details:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://community-test.logicnets.com/release-9/platform-documentation/system-administration/deployment-manager/add-or-remove-an-instance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
