The service worker is the key file to complete the subscription and ensures subscribers are collected on your domain. If you use the native opt-in, adding the service-worker.js file to the root or sub-directory is an important installation step. If you don’t have access to the root directory, but to a subfolder, you can still add the service-worker.js file and complete the installation. Here are the steps to follow –

- Add the service-worker.js file to your subdirectory or a separate folder and copy the path to that folder.
- Login to your PushEngage dashboard and navigate to ***Site Settings > Advanced Settings***
- Add the path for your service-worker.js file and save the changes.

Your registration of a service worker will be from PushEngage and through a sub-folder instead of the root directory.
