**Step 3:** Enter the map details for the title and description and thumbnail. These will be visible to viewers of the map. You can also upload a Floorplan to use for accurate content placement in our studio.

**Step 4:** After entering that information you will be prompted to download a QR code to continue. The QR code will need to be placed where users can scan it to enter the ARway map.
