When you publish a game, it passes through a series of automated checks before it's live. This article explains how to read the result and what to do if a publish is held or rejected.

Your publisher dashboard's Publishing tab shows a gate-by-gate timeline for each publish — every check that ran, in order, with its outcome. A publish that's still in progress shows which gate it's currently at; a completed one shows exactly which gate stopped it, if any did.

From the publish's detail page, you can open a thread with Gameweave staff directly — explain your side, provide context, or ask what specifically triggered the gate. A staff member replies in the same thread. This is the right path for anything you believe was flagged in error.

Some gates — the ones that check for things like malformed archives or unverifiable publisher signatures — protect against threats to every player on the platform, not just quality issues with your specific game. These security-class gates cannot be overridden or cleared by an appeal, even by staff: if one of these is the reason your publish was held or rejected, the fix is to correct the underlying issue (for example, re-signing or repackaging your submission) and publish again, rather than appealing the gate itself.
