 ## publishManifest file
 
 A publishManifest file is used by the **publish** command. It represents all the metadata about the extension that the Marketplace needs to know. If the extension being uploaded is from a VSIX extension, the "identity" property must only have the "internalName" set. This is because the rest of the "identity" properties can be generated from the vsixmanifest file. If the extension is a msi/exe or a link extension, the user must provide the required fields in the "identity" property. The rest of the manifest contains information specific to the Marketplace (for example, categories, whether Q&A is enabled, etc.).
