#### Step 4: Copy and Store the API Token

1. **Copy the Token:**
   * Once the key is generated, it will be displayed on the screen. Copy this key immediately. Some platforms do not show the key again for security reasons.
   * Paste the copied key in the form field in the installation step and choose your preferred AI model.

By following these steps, you can successfully generate a token for OpenAI.

### Add/Update API key later on

**Note:** if you have an **Extended License** then you will get the option to update the API key and gpt models from the admin panel as shown in the below image:

and if you have any other licenses then you can upate the API key and gpt models using the **.env** file present in the root directory of the project.
