# Build Before Versioning
In order to ensure that projects are built before the new version is applied to their package manifest, you can use the `preVersionCommand` property in `nx.json`:
```json {% fileName="nx.json" %}
{
"release": {
"version": {
"preVersionCommand": "npx nx run-many -t build"
}
}
}
```
This command will run the `build` target for all projects before the version step of Nx Release. Any command can be specified, including non-nx commands. This step is often required when [publishing from a custom dist directory](/recipes/nx-release/publish-custom-dist-directory), as the dist directory must be built before the version is applied to the dist directory's package manifest.
