Explainer

An AppExchange package is a container of apps, tabs, and objects that you add to a Salesforce org. You choose the target environment, production or sandbox, when you install, and experienced admins test in a sandbox or Developer Edition first so an unexpected install does not affect live users. The provider ships either a managed or unmanaged package, and that choice controls whether you can change the solution, how upgrades arrive, and whether the contents consume your org's app, tab, and object limits.

Core information

Packages come in two types chosen by the provider: managed and unmanaged. That type decides how the solution behaves after you install it in a sandbox or any other org.

More details and nuances

After you choose production or sandbox, check the username on the confirmation screen before you continue; a playground walkthrough still uses an Install in Production control, so the button label is not proof of the target org.
