### 44.3 Understanding path values for deliverables

When you set up a new conversion project, DITA2Go includes the following settings in your new configuration file:

    [Automation]
    WrapAndShip = Yes
    WrapPath = .\_wrap
    ShipPath = ..\..\_ship

The default path for WrapPath is relative to the project directory for your project, and the default path for ShipPath is relative to the WrapPath value; therefore, by default:

- _wrap becomes a subdirectory of the project directory
- _ship becomes a directory parallel to the project directory.

For example, if your DITA files are in d:\mydoc, and you specify d:\mydoc\myout as the project directory, the default values of WrapPath and ShipPath would specify, respectively, the following locations:

    d:\mydoc\myout\_wrap
    d:\mydoc\_ship

You can specify other names and locations for these directories. See:

§44.6.1 Specifying a wrap directory

§44.12.1 Specifying a shipping directory for deliverables
