Manage Unity projects#

A Unity project represents a game or app your Organization is developing. A project stores all the files related to your game or app, such as the asset and Scene files. See 2D or 3D projects.

Create a project#

Creating a project from the Unity Dashboard ensures it’ll be connected to Unity Gaming Services when you open it in the Unity Editor. To create a new Unity project in the dashboard:

1. Select Projects from the primary navigation menu.
2. Select Create project in the upper-right of the Projects page.
3. Enter a project name and COPPA designation.
4. Select Create project.

New projects are assigned to the active Organization at the time of creation. As such, projects inherit their Organization’s member roles and settings. However, if users need special access to certain tools or information, you can assign project-specific roles without granting access across the entire Organization’s portfolio of projects. Note that you can also transfer projects to a different Organization.

Edit projects#

To change the name or icon of a project from the Unity Dashboard:

1. Select Projects from the primary navigation menu.
2. From the Projects page, select the project you want to edit.
3. In the Project details section, click the edit icon to change the project’s name or icon.

Transfer projects#

To transfer a Unity project from one Organization to another, you must be an Owner or Manager of both Organizations.

To transfer a project from the Unity Dashboard:

1. Select Projects from the primary navigation menu.
2. From the Projects page, select the project you want to transfer.
3. Click Transfer project in the upper-right corner.
4. Select from the list of available Organizations to move your project to, then click Transfer project.

Archive projects#

Archiving a project disables it across Unity Gaming Services and filters it out of your Organization’s projects list. Organization members with Owner or Manager roles can archive projects. To archive a project from the Unity Dashboard:

1. Select Projects from the primary navigation menu.
2. On the Projects page, select the project you want to archive.
3. Click Archive project in the upper-right corner.

Archived projects appear in the Archived tab of the Organization’s projects list. To reactivate an archived project, click Unarchive next to it.

Configure projects for Unity Gaming Services#

If you created your project through the Unity Editor flow, you must link it to a Unity Dashboard Project ID before it can access Unity Gaming Services. You can create a new Project ID within the Unity Editor or link to an existing one. To locate your Project ID from the Unity Dashboard:

1. Select Projects from the primary navigation menu.
2. Select the project you want to use.
3. Select Project Settings from the secondary navigation menu.
4. Copy the Project ID from the Project details section.

To link your project from the Unity Editor:

1. Open the Services window (Window > General > Services).
2. Click General settings to open the services section of the project settings menu.
3. Select your Organization from the drop-down. You must be signed in to the Unity Hub to see a list of associated Organizations.
4. Click Use an existing Unity project ID to link an entity you previously created on the dashboard, or click Create project ID to link your project to a new ID.

In the Editor, new settings will appear to unlink the specified Project ID and define a COPPA compliance setting.

Your project is now configured to implement Unity Gaming Services.
