Uploading your custom creations to the Steam Workshop for Wallpaper Engine allows you to share them with the community.
Uploading Your Wallpaper to the Workshop
Once you have finished creating your wallpaper in the Wallpaper Engine editor, you have the option to publish it to the Steam Workshop. This makes it available for other users to download and enjoy. This process is straightforward, initiated directly from within the editor interface.
Step-by-Step Guide to Publishing
Publishing your wallpaper is a simple process that starts from the editor window. Follow these steps:
- Finalize Your Wallpaper: Ensure your wallpaper is complete and tested to your satisfaction.
- Access Workshop Menu: In the Wallpaper Engine editor, look for the menu options located at the very top of the window. Click on the Workshop menu item.
- Prepare for Publishing: From the dropdown menu that appears, select the option labeled Prepare for publishing.
After selecting "Prepare for publishing," Wallpaper Engine will guide you through the final steps, such as adding a title, description, tags, and a preview image for your wallpaper before you can officially upload it to the Steam Workshop.
Important Considerations
Before you publish your wallpaper, keep these key points in mind:
- Optional Upload: Publishing your wallpaper to the Workshop is entirely optional. You can create and use wallpapers locally without ever sharing them.
- No Project Backup: Initiating the upload process and publishing your wallpaper will not keep a backup of your original project files. It's recommended to manually back up your project files if you need to store or modify them later.
Following these steps will allow you to successfully upload and share your custom wallpapers with the global Wallpaper Engine community via the Steam Workshop.
