Packages are included in many Microsoft Word or software programs that are comparable to those programs. Yet, sometimes these packages need to go through checkpoints. Sometimes, packages fail and the whole entire package should not be restarted or rerun entirely. Instead, they can be restarted just from the checkpoint and not the entire package. There are several benefits to having package checkpoints and those concern large files.

Sometimes these large files have to be repeatedly downloaded or uploaded and the package checkpoints can avoid this. Another benefit is about the loading of large files or information. This can be time consuming and a package checkpoint could also avoid this. Last, if your computer shuts off without saving the data, the package will save from the last checkpoint.
