+## App manifest
+
+The Slack app manifest is the configuration of the app. The `manifest.json` file included with selected templates and samples reflects the features and permissions of your app. When you create an app with the CLI, the corresponding app and matching manifest can be found on [app settings](https://api.slack.com/apps).
+
+For Bolt apps created through the CLI, by default, the manifest source set in the `config.json` file is `remote`. This means that the manifest in your [app settings](https://api.slack.com/apps) is the source of truth. To modify the manifest (add new features, scopes, etc.), do so in the app settings. If you change the `config.json` to reflect a `local` manifest source and modify the local `manifest.json` file, the CLI will ask for confirmation before overriding the settings upstream on reinstall (run). This prompt appears if the app manifest on app settings differs from a known state saved in `.slack/cache`. There is not currently a dedicated manifest update command.
+
+In contrast, Deno apps created with the CLI have the manifest source configuration of `local` because those apps are not managed in the [app settings page](https://api.slack.com/apps).
