Update Metadata

Wallpaper metadata can be changed in two ways: automatically during fluxlay publish, or manually from the dashboard.

Auto-update via publish

When you run fluxlay publish, the CLI sends name from fluxlay.yaml to the store. If description is also set in the manifest, it is sent too. This keeps the listing in sync with whatever is in your repository.

fluxlay.yaml
schemaVersion: 1
name: My Wallpaper
slug: my-wallpaper
version: 0.2.0
description: A relaxing animated gradient.
pnpm fluxlay publish

If the metadata update fails the publish itself still succeeds — only the listing isn't refreshed.

Manual update via dashboard

Use the dashboard for fields that aren't in the manifest, or to revise listing copy without re-publishing.

FieldWhere it can be set
NameManifest or dashboard
DescriptionManifest or dashboard
TagsDashboard only
Preview imagesDashboard only
  1. Go to Dashboard > Wallpapers.
  2. Open the wallpaper.
  3. Edit the metadata section and save.

Dashboard edits override the manifest until the next fluxlay publish runs (which will overwrite name and description again).

Preview images

Preview images appear in the gallery and on the wallpaper detail page. Upload them from the dashboard — they're stored separately from the .fluxlay package and don't require re-publishing to update.

Publishing a new version

Editing metadata does not change the wallpaper content. To ship a new build, bump version in fluxlay.yaml and run fluxlay publish again.
