On the left of the sub header there are two buttons, 'Preview URLs' and 'Format Groups':

* Preview URLs - This link will take you to the '[Edit preview URLs in showcase](/ad-management/showcase.md)' page
* Format groups - This link will take you to the Format [Custom Groups management](/creating-ads/designing-your-ad-in-the-fluid-ad-creator/how-to-use-formats-and-layouts.md) page

On the far right of the sub header is a 'Create New Format' button. This will launch the [Format creation process](/creating-ads/designing-your-ad-in-the-fluid-ad-creator/how-to-use-formats-and-layouts.md). In addition, there is also a search bar which can be used to find a specific Format by name, as well as a sort dropdown which can be used to sort the list of Formats.

## List of Formats

<figure><img src="/files/itfwtA39J2GAXdBpAWXD" alt=""><figcaption><p>List of Formats on the Formats page</p></figcaption></figure>

This is a list of all of the Formats you have access to in the Fluid Ad Creator. The list of Formats has 3 columns of info:

* **Format Name** - For each item in the list, you can see the Format name (this can be clicked on to open up the Format edit screen), the date the Format was created and the user who shared the format with you if you didn't create the Format.
* **Primary Flowline** - This shows the list of sizes in the format. These can be edited from either the Format editing page, or from the Fluid Ad Creator (see [How to Use Formats](/creating-ads/designing-your-ad-in-the-fluid-ad-creator/how-to-use-formats-and-layouts.md))
* **Actions** -&#x20;
  * Edit - this launches the format editing page for the selected format
  * Duplicate - this duplicates the format
  * Archive - this archives the format
  * Delete - this deletes the format
