- Consolidate and manage your game's information
- Edit your game's in-app purchases
- Publish your game to multiple app stores
- View your games’ performance across all UDP stores
Access the UDP console via the URL https://distribute.dashboard.unity.com.
To access the UDP console from the Unity Editor, select Window > Unity Distribution Portal> Settings. In the UDP Settings inspector window, select Go to UDP console.
This section provides a high-level overview of the UDP console’s information architecture.
The UDP console contains a navigation bar that lets you navigate between the following sections of the UDP console:

My Games
The My Games tab displays your UDP projects. From here you can switch between UDP projects, create a new game, and archive and restore games.
To view the Game Info page for a game, select the card in the My Games tab. The Game Info page lets you edit your game information, and publish your game and view its status.
A game card has a status "Published" if it has been submitted to - and accepted by - at least one store.

The Reporting tab displays performance information for your published games. For more information, see Reporting Dashboard.
Partner Stores
The Partner Stores tab displays information about the stores you can distribute your game to using UDP.
