# Product>Distribution

This view allows you to create a distribution from a control panel product.

A product distribution is a packaged version of a control panel product which is meant to be shipped to users. A distribution provides limited access to the internals of a product.

To create a distribution file specify the version in the `Version` field. The `Configurable objects` multiple selection field specifies the objects which will appear in the control panel when the distribution is installed. Click `Create a distribution archive` to download the distribution file. The distribution file can be installed in other Zopes by unzipping and untarring it inside the Zope directory.
