+
+The `archs` and `platforms` arguments override the Architecture and Platform labels in the output image, respectively. They do not actually affect the architectures and platforms the output image will run on. The image must still be built for the required architecture or platform.
 
 There is a simple example [in this issue](https://github.com/redhat-actions/buildah-build/issues/60#issuecomment-876552452).
 
 ### Creating a Multi-Arch Image List
-Use the [buildah manifest](https://github.com/containers/buildah/blob/main/docs/buildah-manifest.1.md) command to bundle images into an image list, so multiple image can be referenced by the same repository tag.
 
-There are examples and explanations of the `manifest` command [in this issue](https://github.com/containers/buildah/issues/1590).
+Input `archs` and `platforms` is provided to build the multi architecture images. If one of these input is provided with the multiple archs or platforms then a [manifest](https://github.com/containers/buildah/blob/main/docs/buildah-manifest.1.md) is built with the multiple architecture images. Name of the manifest is taken from the inputs `image` and `tags`.
+Incase multiple tags are provided then multiple manifest is created based on the provided tags.
 
-This action does not support the `manifest` command at this time, but there is [an issue open](https://github.com/redhat-actions/buildah-build/issues/61).
+Use the `archs` and `platforms` inputs to build multi-architecture images. The name of the manifest is determined by the image and tags inputs.
+
+If multiple tags are provided, multiple equivalent manifests will be created with the given tags.
+
+[`push-to-registry`](https://github.com/redhat-actions/push-to-registry) action can be used to push the generated image manifest.
