Regenerating pattern definitions

The content of the pattern manifest (.rmd) files must remain in sync with the pattern definition. If an error occurs, you can resynchronize the manifest with the pattern definition by using the Regenerate Definition Template menu item.

In the following screen capture, you can see the pattern definition represented in the Model Explorer view. Changes to the pattern definition must be made by using the Pattern Authoring view.
