Previewing Creatives

Previewing your ad is a reassuring way to view your native creative exactly as it will appear within a publisher page. This allows you to fine-tune your visuals or formatting before submitting the creative for launch. You can also easily share these previews with others, without requiring them to log in to the platform, accelerating approvals and helping with the sales process.

These preview hyperlinks are client-friendly if you'd like to share examples of placements with your clients. You can easily share these previews, without requiring clients to log in to the platform.

Let's see how you can preview ads and creatives.

The easiest way to preview your creative is directly from the Creative editor. You'll see two options: an easy to use preview tab and an advanced preview.

To quickly see what your creative looks like in context, go to the Preview tab within the Creative editor. This tab is great if you want to view each image and headline variation. On this tab you can choose to preview your creative on multiple publications and devices. You can also share this view with others by clicking on the "Shareable Preview" button in the bottom left corner of the tab.

For more control and to generate a standalone link, click on the down arrow of the "Save" button and select "Preview". You can also access Advanced Preview by clicking on the button found in the bottom left corner of the tab.

The Advanced Preview tool lets you preview your native content exactly as it will appear within a publisher page as a shareable link. To narrow your options, select the category and sites you'd like to view. You can also filter sites by mobile and desktop by selecting the corresponding icons.

From here, you can select "Preview Ad Placement" to preview the In-Feed Unit, and, for Native Article, "Preview Content Landing Page" to show your creative's content. You can also access shortcuts for previewing Ad and Content Landing Page placements from the main Preview tab.

If you have multiple images or headlines in rotation, refreshing the In-Feed Unit preview will allow you to see a variety of combinations.

Worried that the ad preview will get lost on a long or busy preview site? Now you can automatically scroll the page to bring the ad in view, and even highlight it temporarily to ensure it isn't missed. Simply check the "Automatically Scroll to Ad Placement" box on the Advanced Preview window to add the auto-scroll option to the preview.

Previews are used throughout the campaign lifecycle, so we've added preview options outside the creative editor itself. The options below all activate the advanced preview tool.

Once you're in the Content Library, find the Creative you wish to preview and select the down arrow on the "Edit" button. Then select "Preview."

Within your campaign, each Budget contains Creatives that you can preview by selecting "Preview" from the "..." button located next to the gear icon.

Previews, like any ad, are subject to ad blocking. Please ensure you do not have any active ad blockers in order to preview the ad.
