# Copying Creatives to Studio 4

Your existing work in Studio 3 is safe — migrating creatives to Studio 4 will **not change or affect** any of your original campaigns.

To **edit a Studio 3 creative** in Studio 4, you’ll need to **copy and migrate it** first. This process ensures full compatibility with Studio 4’s new technology.

***

## How Migration Works

You **cannot directly edit** a Studio 3 creative in Studio 4. Instead, follow these steps:

#### ✅ Two-Step Migration Process

1. **Duplicate** the original Studio 3 creative\
   A copy is created that appears only in your Studio 4 Creatives list.
2. **Migrate** the copy to Studio 4\
   It’s updated to use the Studio 4 engine and editor.

{% hint style="info" %}
This means both the **domain name** (Studio version) and the **Creative ID** will change.
{% endhint %}

***

## How to Copy to Studio 4

If a creative has never been edited in Studio 4, a **“Copy to S4”** button will appear on its row in the Creatives list.

* Click this button to start the duplication and migration process
* Once complete, you’ll have **two versions** of the same creative:
  * **Studio 3 version** (editable at `app2.responsiveads.com`)
  * **Studio 4 version** (editable at `studio.responsiveads.com`)

### Example

Suppose you're working with a Studio 3 creative:

* **Original Creative ID:** `67ca2a8780e0ca1ade33cf26`
* **Edit link:** `https://app2.responsiveads.com/items/67ca2a8780e0ca1ade33cf26/edit`

After copying to Studio 4:

* **New Creative ID:** `67ca2c7d2673601628ffdc82`
* **Edit link:** `https://studio.responsiveads.com/items/67ca2c7d2673601628ffdc82/edit`

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important:** AdOps and collaborators must share the **entire link**, not just the ID.\
The domain (`studio.` or `app2.`) and the ID both change in Studio 4.
{% endhint %}

***

## Working with Live Campaigns

If your creative is **live in Studio 3** and needs changes:

* **Continue editing in Studio 3** to avoid re-tagging or versioning issues

If you want to **reuse a live Studio 3 creative** in Studio 4:

* You can safely migrate it — the original remains untouched
* The migrated version becomes a **new creative**, ready for editing and use in Studio 4

***

## For Clients Using Ad Tags

Since migration creates a **duplicate**, you’ll need to **regenerate ad tags** for Studio 4 creatives.

{% hint style="info" %}
Tags generated in Studio 3 **do not transfer** to the Studio 4 version.
{% endhint %}

**Example:**

* You created a Studio 3 creative and generated a test ad tag
* You then migrate the creative to Studio 4
* You must **publish the Studio 4 version** and **generate new ad tags**

***

## Edge Case: Pasting a Studio 3 ID into Studio 4

If you paste a **Studio 3 Creative ID** into a Studio 4 Editor URL:

> Studio 4 will recognize that it’s a Studio 3 creative and **automatically migrate it**.

What happens:

* The creative is duplicated
* A new ID is created
* You’re taken directly into the Studio 4 Editor with the **new, migrated version**
