5. Select one of the following options to define the purpose of the key:
    - **Delivery** - for the Delivery API, which provides access to approved content. This is for a production environment and exposes all published content.
    - **Preview** - for the Preview API, which allows access to all content, including drafts and other content that is not yet approved. This is for a staging or testing environment.
6. Click **Create**.
7. Copy and save the key for future use. Remember, you cannot request this key again after closing the dialog.
