I published a project,  
It will be initialized and published.  
Niantic Studio: Real-World Impact  
I created and published a work to participate in the Challenge, but when I tried to read the QR code, it said “This experience is not available.  
It may have been removed or has not yet been published.” and could not be executed.  
What is the solution?  
In this case, does the fact that the project has not been published mean that it does not meet the contest entry requirements?

Hi!

It sounds like you’ve missed the landing / publishing step.

> When viewing my project in the Simulator I see my changes, however when I visit the link I still see the default scene / old changes.

Thanks for the reply.  
We were able to publish it.  
The link I published is different from the one I submitted to the Niantic Studio: Real-World Impact Challenge. What should I do in this case? What should I do in this case?
