3. In the Add Certificate dialog, use Download CSR in step 1. Download CSR. Your browser downloads a file called upload-to-apple.csr.

Leave the dialog open. You come back to it to upload the finished certificate. The right side of the dialog shows the same Apple Developer Portal instructions summarized below, and the Open Apple Developer Portal button takes you straight there.
