# Heroku Dashboard: add a config var

## Steps
1. Open the app's dashboard page.
2. Go to the Settings tab.
3. Scroll to the Config Vars section and click Reveal Config Vars.
4. Enter the variable name in the KEY field and its value in the VALUE field.
5. Click Add.

## End state
The config var is listed (masked by default behind Reveal Config Vars) and is injected as an environment variable into the app's dynos; the Heroku CLI (`heroku config:set`) is the alternative path.
