Documentation for The Forge is currently in development. Thank you for your patience.
To manage an item, you will click on the item you wish to manage from the Items tab in the Manage Craft section of the Forge.

This will take you to the Mange Item screen for that item as shown in the example below.
Here you have the options to Manage Builds, Upload Builds, Manage Item, Upload Images or alter Royalty Recipients, each on their own tab.
