Prepare the setup for the Upload of your Project.
In this tutorial, you'll archive your files, select and open the archive in the Control Panel, create an app thumbnail, name your app, and enable email notifications for successful uploads.

Package your App for Windows. Refer to this document.
Test your App Locally with Epic’s Signalling Server. Refer to this document.

It has to behave the same as your Desktop App before uploading it on the Control Panel.
Instructions

Without archiving the Build, the upload will fail later.

In the Root folder, where the exe file of your Application is located, select all the files and folders.
2. Right click the mouse and compress the files
Right-click on the selected files > Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
3. Archive created
The compressed archive you created will be uploaded to the Control Panel later. (in the steps below).
Step 2. Open the Archive in the Control Panel

You can also Drag and Drop the Zip file.

b. The name of your Zip File (i.e. Engine.zip in our case).
c. The Size of the App to be uploaded (i.e. Required : 0.46 GB. We are using a Blank Project for this tutorial hence the small size).
d. ‘Upload 0%’, ‘Average upload Speed’ and the ‘Estimated upload time’ (in this Pre Upload page, these values are all set for 0 because the Upload did not start yet. You can track these when the App starts uploading).
