# Add your platform

> Add your app or site, check its colours, save your first keys, then get it reviewed and switched on.

## Before you start

- Your app’s App Store or Google Play link, or your site’s address.
- Your logo, and 4 to 10 screenshots of your app.
- A description of 20 to 2,000 characters.
- A font file, if you want AdQuest to use your font. This is optional.

## 1. Fill in the form

1. Choose **Create**, then **Platform**. The **Add platform** button on the Platforms page does the same.
2. **What is it?**: choose **App** or **Website**, then paste the store link or the website address as a full URL, such as https://example.com.
3. **Name and category**: type the platform name and pick a category.
4. **Logo and font**: drop your logo (PNG, JPG, GIF or WebP, up to 20 MB, square works best). Add a font (TTF, OTF, WOFF or WOFF2, up to 5 MB) if you want AdQuest to use it.
5. **Screenshots**: add 4 to 10 screens of your app (PNG, JPG or WebP, up to 20 MB each, portrait preferred). AdQuest builds your first theme from them.
6. **About it**: describe the platform in 20 to 2,000 characters.
7. When the checklist says **Ready for your colours**, choose **Continue**.

## 2. Check your colours

AdQuest reads a primary and a secondary colour from your logo and screenshots, and previews them on a button and a reward. Keep them, type another as #RGB or #RRGGBB, or tap a spot on a screenshot to use its colour. Then choose **Looks right, create**. You can change every colour later in Theme Studio.

## 3. Save your first keys

Right after the platform is created, **Your first credentials** shows two keys: the API key (starts with aqk_) for your app, and the Secret key (starts with aqs_) for your server. Copy both into your team’s password manager, then choose **I’ve saved them**. Theme Studio opens next.

> **Warning: They are shown only once.** If you lose them, create new ones on the platform’s Connection tab. Never paste the Secret Key in chat, email or a support ticket.

## 4. Review and switching on

AdQuest reviews every new platform. Its row on the Platforms page tells you where it stands.

| You see | What it means | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **In review** | AdQuest is checking it, usually within a day. | Nothing. Your developer can connect it meanwhile. |
| **Rejected** | The review found a problem. | Choose **See why**, then **Edit Information**. Fix the listing and save it: it goes back to In review. |
| **Quests off** | Approved, but quests are switched off. | Turn on the **Quests** switch on its row. |
| **Live** | Approved and showing quests. | Nothing. Your developer finishes the connection. |

> **Pausing later.** Open the platform and choose **More**, then **Turn quests off**. Its page then says **Paused**, and **Turn quests on** brings quests back.

## Your platform page

| Tab | What it is for |
| --- | --- |
| **Overview** | Is it working, the last 7 days, what is showing now, network boost credit and how it looks. |
| **Quests** | The quests on this platform, and the ones waiting on you. |
| **People** | The people who use it. Find one person and see what happened to them. |
| **Connection** | Setup steps, problems this week, keys, reward notices, where AdQuest may appear and the embed code. |
| **Look and listing** | Theme Studio, your listing and screenshots. White Label platforms also set their reward units here. |

The **More** menu at the top holds **Edit listing**, **Add a quest here** and **Turn quests on** or off.
