Welcome to the Banner section of the platform! Banners are the bridges to your partners' widgets. Let us tell you more about the section before we dive in how to create banners...π
You can open this section by selecting Content in the left menu of the platform and then Banners!
In this section, you can find four different tabs:
Scheduled
Published
Expired
Draft
These tabs contain the upcoming and already published banners. This is also where you can create banners for your partners!
The "Published" tab
This is where all the current active banners are placed.
The "Scheduled" tab
Here are all the banners linked to a campaign that isn't published yet but only scheduled.
The "Expired" tab
This tab contains the banners from campaigns that are no longer active.
The "Draft" tab
There are two types of banners stocked in this tab :
> the ones that you started working on and saved as a draft
> the ones linked to a campaign that is in draft mode
Partners cannot see the banners that are in the draft tab.
