Hi, I created a `maven2 hosted snapshot` repository, and it is not showing in `upload` page. In the `upload` page, I can see `release` and `mixed` policy hosted repository but not `snapshots`. I have `npm hosted snapshot` repository and I am able to see as well. Only unable to see `maven2 hosted snapshot` in `upload` page. Any idea? Thanks. ---

Hi Joseph, I believe that manual upload to snapshot repositories is not supported. Uploading such artefacts should be done by building tools like Apache Maven. As a workaround, You can always use ‘Mixed’ type repository. ---

I see. That explain it, but why `npm hosted snapshot` is able to? ---

It’s been a long standing policy that we don’t allow upload of snapshots via the Nexus UI. There are a lot of good reasons for this, you can find one example of the reasoning here: > **[What Happened To issues.sonatype.org?](https://central.sonatype.org/faq/what-happened-to-issues-sonatype-org/)** ---

Thanks for the clarification, @rseddon. But still doesn’t explain for `npm hosted respository`? ---

You should see an upload UI for npm hosted. I am confused by “npm hosted snapshot” though… npm does not have snapshot format repositories, snapshots are a maven concept and do not exist in other formats. ---

Hi @rseddon, My bad, I didn’t look at the correctly place. Thanks for the explanation.
