+<h2 id="upload"> Uploading a previously packaged extension to the Chrome Web Store</h2>
+
+<p>
+You can use the Chrome Developer Dashboard
+to upload an extension that you've previously packaged yourself.
+However, unless you take special steps,
+the extension's ID in the Chrome Web Store
+will be different from its ID in the package you created.
+This different ID might be a problem if you've
+distributed your extension package,
+because it allows users to install multiple versions of your extension,
+each with its own local data.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you want to keep the extension ID the same,
+follow these steps:
+</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li> Rename the private key that was generated
+ when you created the <code>.crx</code> file to <code>key.pem</code>. </li>
+ <li> Put <code>key.pem</code> in the top directory
+ of your extension. </li>
+ <li> Compress that directory into a ZIP file. </li>
+ <li> Upload the ZIP file using the
+ <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard">Chrome Developer Dashboard</a>. </li>
+</ol>
+
