[![How to Use](https://img.youtube.com/vi/uXwIMh8bK0A/0.jpg)](https://youtu.be/uXwIMh8bK0A)

- Setup your project using **SFDX: Create Project with Manifest** command and authorize it using **SFDX: Authorize an Org command**. Skip this step if already done.

For more details refer [Org Development Model with VS Code] (https://forcedotcom.github.io/salesforcedx-vscode/articles/user-guide/org-development-model). 

- Open the command palette (press Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows or Linux, or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS) and run **SFDX Package.xml Generator: Choose Metadata Components** command.

- In Choose Metadata Components for Package.xml page, select the Metadata you need and click on **Update Package.xml** button.

- Package.xml file opens up with the selected metadata components.

- Open the command palette (press Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows or Linux, or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS) and run **SFDX: Retrieve Source in Manifest from Org**

- **Select All** button selects all the metadata components except Reports, Dashboards, Email Templates and Documents.

- If you don't want to modify the existing package.xml file & only want the generated xml content, click on **Copy to Clipboard** button. This copies the formatted package.xml contents to clipboard which can be pasted somewhere else.
