Draft Mode / Live Mode: Overview

How to use draft mode and live mode in Promolayer to test displays privately before making them visible to site visitors.

Draft Mode / Live Mode is the master switch that controls whether a display is visible to site visitors. A display in draft mode will never trigger or appear, regardless of any other settings.

How it works

Draft

The display is hidden from all visitors. No triggers fire. Use this while editing or to pause a display.

Live

The display can trigger and appear to visitors if its settings and targeting conditions allow.

The draft/live switch can never be toggled automatically. For example, if you set a schedule for the display to start appearing on a certain date but leave it in draft mode, it will never appear. To have a display go live at a specific date and time, you must manually switch it to live.
