# Viewing and Editing Package Details
1. **Access Package Information**: To view a package, go to the "Packages" page and select the package from the list.
2. **Edit Details**: Click on the package to open the information tab. Here you can view the details such as notes, contact information, and courier details. You can also see when the package was created and who created it.
3. **Mark as Picked Up**: Once a package has been picked up, you can mark it as "picked up" by toggling the switch button. This action will prompt the contact/tenant to provide an e-signature, confirming the pickup. This ensures a secure and verifiable process for package collection.

# Notifications
- **When a package is added**, the specified contact will receive a notification. This keeps tenants informed about their deliveries, reducing the likelihood of missed packages.
- **Required e-signature from the contact/tenant upon pickup**. This adds an extra layer of security and verification, ensuring that packages are collected by the correct person.
💡Tenants can control their notifications through the app and choose if they want to receive them by email, SMS, or push notifications.
