Create and export a Build Manifest template

1. Using the CCMS Desktop, create a Build Manifest with the settings that are common to all Build Manifest objects based on this template.

   For example, select all the languages. Create all the outputs you need, and for each output, specify the ditaval to use, any user parameters, etc. For more information, see Understanding Build Manifest templates.
