| 481 You can use the Chrome Developer Dashboard |
| 482 to upload an extension that you've previously packaged yourself. |
| 483 However, unless you take special steps, |
| 484 the extension's ID in the Chrome Web Store |
| 485 will be different from its ID in the package you created. |
| 486 This different ID might be a problem if you've |
| 487 distributed your extension package, |
| 488 because it allows users to install multiple versions of your extension, |
| 489 each with its own local data. |
| 490 </p> |
| 491 |

| 493 If you want to keep the extension ID the same, |
| 494 follow these steps: |

| 497 <ol> |
| 498 <li> Rename the private key that was generated |
| 499 when you created the <code>.crx</code> file to <code>key.pem</code>. </li> |
| 500 <li> Put <code>key.pem</code> in the top directory |
| 501 of your extension. </li> |
| 502 <li> Compress that directory into a ZIP file. </li> |
| 503 <li> Upload the ZIP file using the |
