If you are uploading a [[Portal 2]] map to [[Steam Workshop]] that was built in [[Hammer]], then you must upload it with a separate utility called p2map_publish.exe, found in \SteamApps\common\Portal 2\bin\ as part of the [[Portal 2 Authoring Tools]]. 

Usage is fairly straightforward -- click Add to add an entry for your map and upload a map thumbnail and [[BSP]] file. 

If you wish to include custom assets (textures, models, sounds) then you will need to pack those files into the BSP using a tool like [[bspzip]] before uploading to the Workshop.
