# Post Imaging Actions

Post Imaging Actions are tasks that can be added to the **Deployment Package** that will run once the computer imaging is complete. 

{% hint style="info" %}
An example scenario could be that you have a **Windows Image** that you use specifically for the Graphics Team; once installed, you know that you want to install a specific set of applications on any computer where the Image is installed. 

This is where **Post Imaging Tasks** come in; an **App Preset** is configured with applications and scripts that need to be **run** **post-Windows Install**. See [Create an App Preset](https://docs.faronics.com/faronicsdeploy/application-management/install-uninstall-and-update-apps/install-application-s/install-a-pre-defined-group-of-applications-app-presets/create-app-preset) for further information on App Presets.

### Create a New Deployment Package That Contains a Post Imaging Task

This example will guide you through creating a Deployment Package, then adding a Post Imaging Task. 

{% hint style="info" %}
You do not have to create a new Deployment package. If one exists that you wish to make changes to, you can edit it when you get to step 6.
