# Stagers

The **Stagers** screen lists generated stagers and is where you build new ones. A stager is the launcher that delivers and starts an agent on a target.

## The stagers list

Each row is one generated stager. The **Only My Stagers** filter narrows the list to stagers you created. The row menu lets you view, copy, or delete a stager.

## Generating and editing a stager

The button above the list starts a new stager; clicking a name opens an existing one. You choose a **Type** and give the stager a **Name**, and the form shows the options for that stager type. Saving generates the stager and shows its output, which you copy or download to run on the target.
