Universe ID vs Place ID
Why DataStores belong to experiences, not places.
A universe is the experience. It contains one or more places, and every place in the same universe reads and writes the same DataStores.
| Universe ID | Place ID | |
|---|---|---|
| Identifies | The experience | One place inside it |
| Owns DataStores | Yes | No |
| Where to find it | Creator Dashboard → experience → ⋯ → Copy Universe ID | The number in the game URL |
Same experience, different places
Place A and Place B in the same universe already share data. Copying is only useful when you rename the DataStore, change scope, or restructure the data.
