Select the Packaging Method

Depending on your knowledge and your packaging tasks requirements you can choose from the following methods for packaging an SXP product version:

If you want to quickly create a new product, or trying to create a product for the first time, then use the standard mode (automatic method). This method uses the reference installation and presents an absolute minimum of dialogs for required input.
If you are an experienced user and want to change or enhance the configuration of the product or, for example, create delta and combined products, then use the custom mode (manual method). This method also uses the reference installation but provides additional dialogs to perform your tasks.
If you want to create a product manually based on templates of SXP archive files, you must also select the custom mode (manual method).

You select the packaging method on the Create Product Version dialog, which is the first in a series of dialogs for the packaging process.
