+<h1 id="key">Manifest - Key</h1> |
+ |
+<p> |
+This value can be used to control |
+the unique ID of an extension, app, or theme when |
+it is loaded during development. |
+</p> |
+ |
+<p class="note"> |
+<b>Note:</b> You don't usually need to |
+use this value. Instead, write your |
+code so that the key value doesn't matter |
+by using <a href="http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/overview.html#relative-urls">relative paths</a> |
+and <a href="http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/extension.html#method-getURL">extension.getURL</a>. |
+</p> |
+ |
+<p> |
+To get a suitable key value, first |
+install your extension from a <code>.crx</code> file |
+(you may need to |
+<a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard">upload your extension</a> |
+or <a href="http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/packaging.html">package it manually</a>). |
+Then, in your |
+<a href="http://www.chromium.org/user-experience/user-data-directory">user |
+data directory</a>, look in the file |
+<code>Default/Extensions/<em><extensionId></em>/<em><versionString></em>/manifest.json</code>. |
+You will see the key value filled in there. |
