Create and Update a Second-Generation Managed Package

Project Configuration File for a Second-Generation Managed Package
The project configuration file is a blueprint for your project. The settings in the file create an outline of your managed 2GP package and determine the package attributes and package contents. -
Get Ready to Promote and Release a Second-Generation Managed Package Version
By now it’s likely that you’ve already created many different versions of your managed 2GP package and tested them. When you have a package version that you're ready to distribute, promoting the package version is the next step. -
Specify a Package Ancestor in the Project File for a Second-Generation Managed Package
When you create a second-generation managed package version you specify a package ancestor in your sfdx-project.json file. We require that the package ancestor you specify is the highest promoted package version number for that package. You can either update the ancestor version number each time you create a package version, or you can use a keyword.
