Add Metadata in Console

This how-to adds Metadata to a Leaderboard, Progression, Catalog Item, or Currency in the Web Console. The process is the same across all four feature types.

Prerequisites

Open Metadata for a Feature

Navigate to the feature you want to edit and click Metadata to edit Metadata for that item. On Leaderboards and Progressions, this is a tab on the item's detail page; on Currencies and Catalog items, it's a tab within the item's edit view.
