The published content contains the necessary files to support both SCORM versions. SCORM, however, requires that the manifest be named imsmanifest.xml and that it reside at the root of the Player package. This file will contain the manifest for the version you selected during publishing. The manifest for the other version will be named either imsmanifest12.xml or imsmanifest13.xml, depending on your selections during publishing. 

For example, when you publish for SCORM 1.2 conformance, the published package includes an imsmanifest.xml file for version 1.2 and an imsmanifest13.xml file for version 1.3. Alternatively, when you publish for SCORM 1.3 compliance, the published package includes an imsmanifest.xml file for version 1.3 and an imsmanifest12.xml file for version 1.2. Content published for one SCORM version can easily be used for the other by renaming the manifest files for the version.

To switch SCORM versions in published packages:

1. Rename imsmanifest.xml to either imsmanifest12.xml or imsmanifest13.xml depending on what the package is currently defaulting to. If you published for version 1.2, rename the imsmanifest.xml file to imsmanifest12.xml. If you published for version 1.3, rename the imsmanifest.xml file to imsmanifest13.xml.
    
2. Rename either imsmanifest12.xml to imsmanifest.xml to use SCORM version 1.2 or imsmanifest13.xml to imsmanifest.xml to use SCORM version 1.3.
