Creating the Versions Manifest File
The PrimoToolbarManifest.xml file allows you to apply version information to your Primo Toolbar Installation packages to be used when determining if a user has the latest version of the Toolbar installed. If a later version exists, the user is prompted to download the new version from the location specified in the Installation Path field.
After an update to the PrimoToolbarManifest.xml file, place the file on the Primo server in the following directory (fe_conf), where <r> indicates the release in which Primo was initially installed and <x> indicates the instance number of the Primo installation:
/exlibris/primo/p<r>_<x>/ng/primo/home/system/search/conf
