Procedure
  1. Click the settings icon next to the logo to verify that the ad format, scroll reveal, is defined correctly. You can change the ad name and custom variables. For more information, see Customizing scroll reveal.

    Note

    Note: The advertiser or media agency may have provided you with a naming convention that you should use to name your ad. If not, use a name that describes the creative. For example, advertiser-campaign_name-dimensions → amazon-back_to_school-300x250.

  2. By default, the panel dimension for the ad is set to 300x250. You can change the dimensions in the Properties pane.

  3. Select/clear the check box if you want the panel to have responsive or fixed dimensions. Selecting responsive will have the ad adapt itself to 100% width/height of the monitor used.

    Note

    Note: For fixed dimensions, change the Positioning Type to Page Relative - Percentage, X: 50, y: 50.

  4. In the Components pane, click Hotspot to add a click-through button. This button creates a transparent overlay that makes your creative clickable. In the Properties pane, set the width and height to match your ad, and set the X and Y coordinates to 0.

  5. In the Actions and Animations pane, click Create New Event, and then select Tap/Click as the event type.

  6. Add a click-through action to ensure that the entire hotspot is clickable.

  7. Click Save.
