New to AI Studio = adding secret key to a project

Sorry if this is a noob question, but please help m,..

What is the best way to add a secret key to a project ? , because when i navigate to the project settings, the only option is to create a new key , not add a secret ? [ i am trying to a publishable key for clerk authentication for a app/project. ] - i think i know what needs to happen ? but alas i cant find it ?

[/ error message because the application needs a special key to connect to the Clerk authentication service, and it hasn’t been provided yet.

In this development environment, you don’t set it in a file directly. Instead, you need to add it to the Secrets manager for the project.

Here’s how to do it [ I DONT FIND THIS AT ALL ] .//

Look for the Secrets tab in the left-hand sidebar of this tool. It usually has a key icon (:key:)

the only thing i see is “create a key in the dashboard app settings and this just create a key. not giving the option to add an . env key ?

Hi @Tee_Merwe ,

Welcome to the Forum!! Thanks for reaching out!
At the moment, AI Studio doesn’t support adding environment variables or secret keys. That option is only available in Vertex AI environment.
