Thanks for reaching out about this issue. Can you share the query of files you are generating a manifest for? You can do that by clicking the `Share` button next to your query in the file repository and clicking the button to `copy short URL` (See screenshot below).

Just to note, sometimes the manifest will take a moment to be generated if the list of files is large.

Thank you a lot for your reply! @chris-friedman  
It works now. Just as you said, it’s a large dataset, and I need to wait for a while.
