+Downloading prebuilt packages
+-----------------------------
+A neat feature that feedstocks have is the ability to `upload packages to the CI provider for testing <https://conda-forge.org/docs/maintainer/conda_forge_yml.html?highlight=store_build_artifacts#azure>`_.
+This is useful when trying out packages built in a PR. But you first need to download these prebuilt packages.
+
+To download prebuilt packages follow the steps below:
+
+- Starting from your PR, navigate to the CI.
+- Open the log corresponding to the package you want to download.
+- In this log find a link to the ``artifacts produced``.
+- From the list of published artifacts that appears download your required archive.
+- Unarchive and extract the required package.
