To make changes to the created game keys package, select the key on the Game Keys tab, make changes, and save. You can also upload an image for the keys package.

Note

For users to be able to buy the game, the keys need to be uploaded. If the keys run out, additional keys must be uploaded.

  • developer
  • owner

Only the project owner can change roles in Publisher Account in the Company settings > Users section.
