> Killing Floor 2 has an integrated Workshop system that allows the server to automatically download and sync map files with connecting clients. This ensures that players always have the correct version of a map without needing to manually browse the Workshop themselves.

## 1. Subscribing the Server

1. Find the **Workshop ID** of the map you want (the number in the URL).
2. Open `PCServer-KFEngine.ini` via the File Manager.
3. Locate the `[OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.KFWorkshopSteamworks]` section.
4. Add a new line for each map:
   `ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems=123456789`

***

## 2. Defining the Map Summary

The server needs to know how to display the map in the menu.

1. Open `PCServer-KFGame.ini`.
2. Add a new map entry at the bottom of the file following this format:
   ```ini theme={null}
   [KF-MapName KFMapSummary]
   MapName=KF-MapName
   ScreenshotPathName=UI_MapPreview_TEX.UI_MapPreview_Placeholder
   ```

***

## 3. The WebAdmin Shortcut (Recommended)

Managing these files manually is prone to syntax errors. We strongly recommend using the [WebAdmin GUI](/games/killing-floor-2/accessing-kf2-webadmin):

1. Log in to WebAdmin.
2. Navigate to **Workshop Content**.
3. Simply paste the Workshop ID and click **Add**. The system will automatically update both of the `.ini` files mentioned above for you.

***

<Important>
  ### Case Sensitivity

  The `MapName` in your config must match the internal `.kfm` filename exactly. If the Workshop file is named `KF-BikiniBottom.kfm`, using `MapName=Bikini` will cause the server to fail the loading process.
