# Leaderboard FAQ

### Why is my leaderboard key not found?

This can happen with a few reasons. First, check that you did not misspell the key in the console or in your code. You could also be trying to reference a Leaderboard key which in the Stage Environment, but now your game is on the Live Enviornment. Recreate the Leaderboard on the appropriate environment and it will work again.

### Why doesn't my player metadata in my leaderboard update when I submit a new score?

This can happen if you update a player's metadata with a score that is below the original score. This is not possible to do unless you have enabled "Overwrite Score on Submit", but this will also change the score of the player.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lootlocker.com/game-systems/leaderboards/leaderboard-faq.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
