Changes in the deindexed project

While I'm waiting for indexing, I have some thoughts about fixing, for example, the project page description. If I make these changes, will I be at the end of the indexing queue? I don't want this to happen, but it's also necessary to make changes (even if they're minor) to improve the overall perception, and show how changelogs and patches affect that. What should I do?

You should promote the game yourself so that indexing isn't an issue (also because it moves your project page ahead in the queue). Hope this helps.

I mean if i will change some information in my project, it will sent me to the end of consider indexing? I know i must to promote it by myself, but i wanna also find an audience on itch.io, where it's easier to communicate with people who share your interests. Like i said usually, it helps to both sides - Devs and Players. But it's harder when you're deindexed 'cause people can't find it in search. I know the answer, just want listen your opinion

I don't know, but it sounds unlikely. And the way to promote on itch.io is via devlogs, release announcements or simply being active in the community. You shouldn't rely on being indexed.

That's just one problem - devlogs don't showed up in the general section (https://itch.io/devlogs), if your project was deindexed. That's 'cause i'm trying to do something to get interested. By the way, thanks for answer

...They should, actually, but devlogs also have to be seen by staff before they show up. They're indexed separately from the game page. And devlogs are only one thing to do among others.

Oh, that's now fine. I've got index, yeaaaah. So, anyway, thanks for your help
