[Skyrim SE] How to manually add Version and Category to a mod


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone
I'm creating a mod, which has not yet been uploaded on Nexusmods, and when I go to manually install the 7zip file of the mod on Vortex, I don't see 2 data, the Version (number) of the mod and the Category of the mod.
Is there a way, via Creation Kit or SSEEdit or another tool, to add these 2 data to the mod so that they are recognized by Vortex when the mod is installed?
Thanks in advance to those who will answer!

When you upload your mod to Nexus, they add some metadata to the archive header.    So that even if you manually download the file, rename it, and then drag it into Vortex  drop box, it recognizes that it is from Nexus, and can essentially link it to the mod's site.   But if you download  a mod file from Nexus, uncompress it using 7Zip,   re-compress it right back, and THEN drag it into Vortex, it will show up with 'None' source and no version/category.   

Nexus itself will obtain version and category from you mod page.
