 The Project Launcher will show you the progress and the output logs. Depending on the size and complexity of your level, as well as your system specs, this can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours.
 When the process has finished, take a look at the directory where the build was saved. By default, it's in your project folder `\Saved\StagedBuilds`. For each platform you built, you'll find a separate folder like `WindowsNoEditor` and `LinuxNoEditor`. Navigate to `\WindowsNoEditor\MyProject\Content\Paks`, where you'll find several .pak files. Pakchunk0 is the base content of your packaged project. Your level is in a pakchunk with the number you specified in the primary asset label, for example *pakchunk1*.
 You need to rename your .pak file to match the name of your level, for example *MyLevel.pak*. This is the file that needs to be distributed to any game server and any client that wants to play the level.
