+Input Variables
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-To run this script, navigate to a directory and run the script
-with ``cmake -P``.
+This module accepts the following variables:
 
-::
+``allow_versions``
+  Additional versions can be passed by setting the ``allow_versions``
+  variable from the invocation command.  This enables using additional
+  embedded manifest versions in a project, even if that version was not
+  found in a ``.manifest`` file.
 
-  cmake -Dallow_versions=8.0.50608.0 -PCMakeVerifyManifest.cmake
+Examples
+^^^^^^^^
 
-This call allows an embedded manifest of 8.0.50608.0 to be used
-in a project, even if that version was not found in a
-``.manifest`` file.
+To use this module in the project, create a local command-line script (for
+example, in the project's subdirectory ``cmake/scripts``) and include the
+module:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+  :caption: ``cmake/scripts/verify-manifest.cmake``
+
+  include(CMakeVerifyManifest)
+
+Then run the local script in command-line and, for example, specify
+additional embedded manifest of ``8.0.50608.0`` to be used in a project:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+  cmake -Dallow_versions=8.0.50608.0 -Pcmake/scripts/verify-manifest.cmake
