Copying Creatives to Studio 4

Creative Migration Guide

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.

This means both the domain name (Studio version) and the Creative ID will change.


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


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.

Tags generated in Studio 3 do not transfer to the Studio 4 version.

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
