Please follow these steps carefully:
1. Navigate to the %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds folder on your computer.
2. Find the .db and .fwl files and rename them to match your Server ID, while keeping the extensions.
(Your Server Id can be found in your control panel.)
3. Click on both the .db and .fwl file (no other files) and right-click, Send To, Compressed Zip folder.
4. Upload the finished .zip file by clicking the Choose File button for local save in your control panel.
