Creating a manifest file

Adobe Captivate contains an important eLearning feature that creates a manifest file. This is
useful if you want to package an Adobe Captivate project to be an e-learning course that can be
administered and launched from a SCORM 1.2 or 2004 conformed LMS.
The manifest file that Adobe Captivate creates is named imsmanifest.xml and contains references
to all content resources. The XML file uses predefined XML tags to describe the package
components, structure, and special behaviors.
