Preview an experience

You can preview the creatives with a specific ad size that target viewers will see for an experience, including all hyperlinks. For experiences with decision tree targeting, you can preview a single creative, the creatives for a particular branch (target type), or all creatives in the experience. For experiences without decision tree targeting, you can preview a single creative.

  • When you preview all creatives for the experience or a particular branch, all applicable creatives are shown.

  • When you preview a single creative and multiple creatives fit the criteria, the creative you see each time you refresh the preview is based on the ad rotation settings for the experience:

    • For algorithmic ad rotation, the creative is selected based on the optimization goal.

    • For scheduled ad rotation, the first creative in the schedule is shown. You can keep refreshing the preview to continue through the sequence.

    • For weighted ad rotation, the creative is selected based on the specified weights (such as an 80% chance that Creative A is shown and a 20% chance that Creative B is shown) each time.
