# Other Changes in Studio 4

While most workflows and pages outside of the Editor remain unchanged in Studio 4, there are a few important updates to be aware of—especially related to how creatives are rendered, tagged, and created.

***

## Minimal UI Changes on Most Pages

Pages like **Summary**, **Preview**, and **Analytics** remain largely the same in Studio 4, with only minor adjustments to layout and styling. Your team should feel at home on these pages with no additional training needed.

***

## New Rendering Technology

The biggest technical change in Studio 4 is the introduction of a **new version of our ad rendering technology**. This means:

* **Studio 3 creatives will continue to work** in Studio 4.
* However, if you **edit a Studio 3 creative in Studio 4**, it will be **automatically migrated** via a duplication process.
* This duplicate uses new technology and must be **re-tagged** before going live again.

## Starting a New Creative

Creating a new creative in Studio 4 is simpler and more streamlined:

**In Studio 4:**

* You now choose between starting from a **template** or a **blank canvas**.
* The "New Creative" flow requires:
  * Creative name
  * Format selection
  * Tag selection
* Templates are accessed from the **Templates** tab or **Dashboard Quick Access block**.
* If starting from a template, **format selection is skipped** (inherited from the template).

***

## The Creatives Page

You’ll now see creatives from **both Studio 3 and Studio 4** in one place, under the **All** tab.

**For Studio 3 creatives:**

* Labeled with Studio 3 tags and shown with limited controls.
* Actions available:
  * **Copy to S4** – begins the migration process.
  * **Preview** – opens Studio 3 preview.
  * **Manage in Studio 3** – opens Studio 3 summary page.
* No publish or showcase controls (these are not compatible with Studio 4).
* The three-dot menu for more actions is hidden.

**For Studio 4 creatives:**

* Identified with a **blue “S4” tag**.
* All standard actions (edit, preview, publish, showcase, etc.) are available.

Note: If you're new to Studio 4, the Studio 4 tabs might appear empty. Creatives will appear there as soon as they are created or copied into Studio 4

## The Templates Page

Templates from **both Studio 3 and Studio 4** are visible here. Like the Creatives page, tabs let you filter by Studio version.

* **Studio 4 templates** are tagged with a purple “S4” label.
* We’ve migrated most templates for you, updating naming and design conventions.
* Use the **“Use”** button to start a new creative.
  * Starting from a **Studio 4 template** is faster and more compatible.
  * Studio 3 templates will trigger migration and may need manual adjustments.

**Tab Overview:**

* **Layouts tab** – Unbranded, reusable layouts with placeholder content.
* **Themed tab** – Campaign- or client-specific templates with preloaded brand assets.<br>

## Navigation Bar & Help Menu

Several navigational elements have been updated:

* **Nav bars** for the Editor, Summary page, and New Creative setup have been slightly adjusted to better group related actions.
* The **Help menu (“?” icon)** is now more useful and accessible:
  * Link to Help Docs
  * Access to Tutorial Videos
  * Contact Customer Support
  * Keyboard shortcuts (moved from the left-hand panel in Studio 3)
