Setting up an Ad from a Template

Each template setup is unique, but there are some key principles applicable to all templates

Introduction to Templates

Templates in Responsive Ads provide a quick and efficient way to start creating responsive ads. Each template comes pre-configured with design elements, breakpoints, and resizing behaviours tailored to specific types of ads.

Once you select a template, it sets the foundation for your ad's structure and functionality.

Please note

After choosing a template, you cannot switch to another template for that ad, so it's important to select the right one from the start.

Selecting a Template

Accessing the Template Library

1. Navigate to the Template Library: From the dashboard, click on the "Use a Template" card in the Getting Started section. Alternatively you can click on the Templates tab in the App Header.
