- In a few moments, your map will be uploaded and ready to be shared with playtesters! You will be taken to the Edit Beatmap page where you can fill in additional information, such as a description and a YouTube link for previewing the song.
- When you're ready to share the link to your map with others, click the View button, then copy the URL in your web browser.
