Hi Kristen, For the use-case you've indicated, the value set in the property file takes precedence. The parameter value specified in the property file overrides the one specified in the .opt file (in case of conflict).

I am "disentangling" a client's Web Help build.

Many transformation parameters are specified in a properties file, including webhelp.publishing.template.

if the values of the parameters set in the properties file and the .opt file are in conflict, which takes precedence?

Many thanks for the help in advance!
