Key Message naming convention: product-name-key-message-name

• Located in app/assets/scss
• Compiles to minified and unminified CSS

• Located in app/assets/js

• Located in app/templates
• Supports Handlebars Helpers

Define Key Messages under the clm node:

clm:
  product:
    name: 'Product-Name'
    suffix: '-'
  primary:
    name: 'CLM-Presentation-ID'
    key_messages:
      - key_message: 'home'
        description: 'Home'
        display_order: '0'
        slides:
          - slide: 'home'
            id: '0'
      - key_message: 'overview'
        description: 'Veeva Test Overview'
        display_order: '1'
        slides:
          - slide: 'Veeva Test Overview'
            id: '2-0'
      - key_message: 'sitemap'
        description: 'Sitemap'
        display_order: '2'
        slides:
          - slide: 'Sitemap'
            id: '0-1'

Update paths in configuration.yml as needed:

paths:
  src: "app"
  dist: "build"
  deploy: "deploy"
  tmp: "build/.tmp"
  pages: "app/templates/pages"
  layouts: "app/templates/layouts"

💡 Tip: YAML files must use spaces (not tabs).

veeva --help

• Make sure you're using a compatible Node.js version (check package.json)
• Ensure configuration.yml is valid YAML (use a linter if needed)
• Screenshots only process .html files; static assets like .pdf require manual thumbnails
