Publishing to Roblox (approvals)
Which uploads to Roblox ask for your approval first, what the approval card shows, the always-allow grant, what publishes without a card, and how to turn publishing off.
On this page
Some things RoGenie can do are real uploads to Roblox: publishing a model, mesh, image, animation or other asset type, uploading images as textures and decals, or uploading a Blender render. An upload creates a real asset owned by you (or your group, for a group place) and cannot be undone from RoGenie. So RoGenie asks first when it publishes an asset with Publish Assets, uploads images (including Blender renders), or overwrites an existing animation.
The approval card
When RoGenie wants to upload, the run pauses and shows RoGenie needs your approval to publish, with:
- what will be uploaded: for example Model named "Shop Counter", from Workspace.Shop or Upload 3 images, then applied to Workspace.Sign,
- a warning if the upload overwrites an existing asset, with that asset's ID,
- the owner the asset will belong to,
- how long the request stays open (Expires in N min; a request waits up to 20 minutes).
Choose:
| Option | What happens |
|---|---|
| Approve | This upload goes ahead. |
| Always allow in this chat | This upload goes ahead, and later uploads of new assets in this chat do not ask again. |
| Deny | Nothing is uploaded; RoGenie carries on without it. |
| ✕ (close) | Same as not approving. |
If the request expires or you stop the run, nothing is uploaded and the card says Timed out: not approved or Stopped: not approved.
The always-allow grant
After Always allow in this chat, the chat shows Publishing is always allowed in this chat. The grant has limits:
- It covers new assets only. Overwriting an existing asset always asks, and the card for an overwrite does not offer Always allow.
- It applies to this chat only.
- Revoke it at any time; the chat then says Publishing asks for approval again in this chat.
What publishes without a card
Two kinds of upload are part of the action you asked for, so they do not show a card:
- A new animation that RoGenie creates and publishes with Create Animation or Edit Animation. Overwriting an existing animation always asks. See Character animation.
- A Blender import. Sending a model or an animation from Blender to Studio publishes its meshes and animations to your account (or the place's group) as part of the import, because Roblox needs them published to keep them in your place.
Both stop when publishing is switched off (below).
Turning publishing off
Switch off Publish Assets to Roblox in Tool access and RoGenie never publishes anything for you in that session, including new animations and Blender imports. Image Upload to Roblox has its own switch in the AI Generation group.
Notes
- Uploads happen through Roblox Studio as your signed-in Studio account, so they follow your Roblox account's own limits and moderation.
- An uploaded asset is not removed by Revert. Manage it on the Roblox Creator Dashboard.
