The new overwrite feature which can be accessed in studio by File> Publish to Roblox To… > Update existing game… only allows you to overwrite one place, trying to overwrite the same place or any other place after this (within the same studio session) is not possible since the “overwrite” button gets grayed out. This bug just started happening, as the new panel was released in the live version of studio. This is happening in a group game with team create turned on.
Repro steps: Navigate to the panel I mentioned above and overwrite to any game. Once you do this, go back to the same panel and try to overwrite any game. The overwrite button is grayed out and you cannot click it.
I’m attaching a screenshot to show the button grayed out.
I also seem to be having this problem as well. This even happens with Team Create turned off.
Other things to add, it isn’t just the “Overwrite” button, it is also the Create new place button, and regular Create button when making a new game. It seems to happen when either one of these is clicked once. A way I was able to bypass the “Overwrite” button was to just click the publish to roblox button.
For the past 3 days, I haven’t even been able to publish a local file to a main place period. The overwrite button grays out and studio services such as datastores are enabled. What’s weird is that the place says it failed to publish yet I can still access the same data you can find in the main game.
I’ve been working in a local file for the past 3 days, so far i’ve heard nothing from Roblox
This is an extreme annoyance for our team and I. Not being able to publish anything is always a problem. I really hope this is fixed soon because I have to constantly reopen studio just to publish a fix.
The “Overwrite” button is greyed out and you can’t click it if you’ve already uploaded to the selected place slot. You have to close studio and re-open it to fix it. This is very annoying as I usually make changes from a Team Create and then upload to the non-teamcreate place using this interface.
Having same issue when trying to overwrite with a local file to a existing place inside a game, and trying to overwrite a team create. I keep getting this.
Also it would be nice if we could select multiple places from the list of places in a game to overwrite. Some games that make use of multiple places work by having the same place file published to every place in the game.
This is really annoying! I had to safe a game file because it failed to save (another bug in itself) and publishing from file to overwrite any other game , just , doesn’t work! However, instead of anything graying out, It just opens the place, instead of overwriting it. A fix which worked for me is to publish as a new place, then publish to the place you want to overwrite, however this may not work for you
I’m having some issues with this as well. I chose to overwrite an existing place, clicked the button ‘Overwrite’, but I check the existing place, and the changes are not made. If I attempt to do this again (like this developer said) it will turn into gray and won’t let me overwrite it.
This is still broken. My overwrite button is still often grayed. It’s very very annoying to have to reboot studio to publish to another place. I’m not sure exactly when it happens.
For example, I’m able to publish to a place, then randomly it grays out the next time. Or I successfully publish to 2 different places in a row, then sometimes it just grays out when I try again a few minutes later.
Update: This seems to be reproducible after you run game:SetPlaceId(placeid) in the command bar. This is annoying because I don’t want to have to publish my game in studio just to check/edit a datastore, like removing a cheater from a leaderboard. I also don’t want to re-download the game from the cloud to do this either.

Thank you for the detailed reproduction steps and it really helped us to find and reproduce the issue. We are submitting a fix and it will be deployed in a future release. Apologies for the delay in addressing the problem.
