# Store

The **Store** is where the Hub acquires new abilities. Open it from the left sidebar: each application is presented as a card; selecting a card opens its notice, with a description, what it offers, and the **Install** action.

## Installing an application

1. Open **Store** in the left sidebar.
2. Select the application's card to read its notice.
3. Choose **Install**. Installed applications take their place in the sidebar, ready for use. Applications marked **Coming soon** announce what is on its way and cannot yet be installed.

Whether the Store appears to you at all depends on your role: administrators decide which roles in the institution have access to it.

## DPAC, by Ecomic

**DPAC (Digital Preservation and Access Console)**, by **Ecomic**, is the first installable application of the Store, built for the **MiC Digital Library** of the Italian Ministry of Culture. It is the bridge between the digitized collection and its long-term preservation:

- It defines the **DPAC catalog template**, the spreadsheet format the Hub's [Catalog](/en/catalog/) and Import Data recognise natively, so the register reads like the official sheet.
- Its **Package Manager** assembles preservation packages from the digitized works, deposits them in the Digital Library and **notarizes** them: a certified, tamper-evident record that the deposit took place.
- The Hub follows each package (in deposit, deposited, notarized) and protects the packaged derivatives from deletion for as long as a package cites them: the preservation record cannot be quietly unmade.
- The heavy work of packaging is done by the Hub's own [worker network](/en/node-workers/); nothing is asked of your machines.

Once installed, DPAC stands in the sidebar with its Package Manager.
