Clicking EDIT at the top of the column will switch to the texture editor. Hovering over stuff here should give you help.⤶
⤶
The diffuse texture is the texture that holds the color of the item.⤶

* Clicking the texture square on the right will allow you to select a texture off disk.⤶

When editing textures, it's a good idea to keep some things in mind.⤶
⤶
* Keep the texture power of two, ie, 256x256, 512x512, 1024x512.⤶
* If in doubt, keep it the same size as the original texture⤶
* You don't need to edit all of the textures⤶

# Previewing⤶
⤶
The preview section on the right had a number of buttons, which are all self explanatory - just press them to find out what they do.⤶
⤶
You can look and fly around the scene on the right by holding down a mouse button and pressing your regular movement controls (default is wsad). You can zoom in and out by holding down both mouse buttons.⤶
⤶
If you want a bigger area to take screenshots you can collapse the editor panel by pressing the green arrow near the top right of it.⤶
⤶
# Publishing⤶
⤶
Once you're ready to publish, open the publish tab. If the publish button is unclickable it's probably because you haven't given your item a name yet. You can do this on the ITEM tab.⤶
⤶
When you publish your item should automatically open in your default browser. If you're not logged in, make sure to, and then you should be able to add a description and add more screenshots.⤶
⤶
We politely ask that you keep your thumbnail as the default generated thumbnail, but ultimately we're powerless to enforce this.
