I checked game.PlaceId both online and in edit mode and they are the same. I was confused by this wiki page where it says "To access it, open place from website (for example, from Start Page->My Projects)" because the example "Start Page->My Projects" is the opposite of "open place from website." I tried start server and start player and the data wasn't the same there either. What is the actual correct method of accessing DataStore keys from studio?

DataStore stores differently online vs in studio

The simple answer; The online mode uses ROBLOX Cloud Service
Edit mode does not. It only access the cloud service while you are Saving and Opening. Even during Auto-Save, it only uses local services.

In other words, it isn't possible? If so, I need to go edit the wiki page.

No, as far as I am aware, and as far as my knowledge on the ROBLOX Cloud Service extends, no, it is not possible.

No, unless a recent update has changed the functionality, you CAN access your data from DataStores in Studio. Just open the Game through an Edit on the site.

I thought that you could just click edit and access Data Store keys from the command bar. That explains why it wasn't working..
The wiki page says you can. The wiki page is wrong.
I think you were able to at one time when it was in testing, because I remember Unclear saying he accessed his players' stats from Studio.
