Tips & common questions
Where do I change the game’s name or cover?
Use Edit game at the top of the Game Page. The form there lets you update the name, cover image, short description, and other basic details.
Why can’t I see the Permissions tab?
The Permissions tab is only visible to users who can manage access for this game. If it’s missing, your role is likely view or edit only; an admin can grant permission to manage access.
What’s the difference between Versions and the version in the header?
The header shows the version you’re currently viewing. The Versions panel shows the full history of versions so you can compare or open an older one.
Why is the catalog control grey?
Grey typically means the catalog is not published yet (or this game isn’t included). When the catalog is published and the game is included, the control may appear green or active. [Exact behavior may vary; if your screen differs, check with your admin.]
Can I have a whiteboard per game?
Yes. The Whiteboard button on the Game Page opens a whiteboard that’s specific to that game, so you can keep notes and sketches organized by game.
