* Preview URLs - This link will take you to the '[Edit preview URLs in showcase](../ad-management/showcase)' 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) 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). 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.

* **Actions** -&#x20;
  * Edit - this launches the format editing page for the selected format
