These Document Options allow you to use simple customization options like which layout to use and what fields should or should not be included in the document.

The Shipment Manifest is an Insights Report that displays all shipments on a particular day. You can filter it by Provider, Shipping Account, and Ship From Location. This report does not close your shipments with the carrier and is not a scannable shipment manifest form.
The Shipment Manifest report can still be useful to a driver if they request a manifest, but they work for a carrier that doesn't provide printed manifests to ShipStation. That report may help to serve as proof that the driver picked up the packages.
Enabling the option List items for each order in the shipment manifest will cause ShipStation to add each shipment's items to the manifest underneath its associated shipments.
