The Creative Template Header

General

A creative template's Header displays when you're editing it. You can use the creative template's Header to navigate the steps to build and edit it, save changes, and access template actions.

Template Name and ID

The creative template's name and ID are displayed on the left side of the Header. You can rename the template by clicking on it.

"Live" Template Indicator

When a creative template has child creatives used in active campaigns, a "LIVE" badge () will be displayed in the Header to indicate this. Hovering over the badge will display the specific number of active campaigns.

Template Navigation

In the middle of the Header, the navigation bar provides quick access to the template's editing steps.

Multiple Users Indicator

The Header displays other users actively editing or viewing the creative template.

Multiple users can edit the same template at once. However, if two users attempt to edit the same ad format within that template at the same time, Flight Control will lock it to prevent conflicting changes. After changes are made, a banner will appear prompting you to refresh the page to view the latest updates.

Saving & Discarding Changes

On the right side of the Header is the save button (). When the button displays a red dot, you can click it to save your creative template changes. Clicking the button's arrow lets you discard recent template changes.
