If you used a third-party authoring tool, such as a code editor or Adobe Animate, to build your pushdown, proceed to set up your ad in Amazon Ad Server (AAS) .

Note

Note: If you used Ad Builder to build your pushdown, this set up is not required and you can proceed to sharing your ad. For more information, see Share your ads.

Note

Note: pushdown is supported in Safeframes.

Prerequisites

Before uploading your ad to AAS, verify that you have completed these prerequisites:

  • The folder that contains your assets does not include unnecessary files. For example:

    • Unused assets such as images, videos, or fonts.

    • Work files such as .psd, .fla, or .scss.

    • Hidden files such as thumbs.db (Windows) or .DS_Store (Mac).

  • Create a workspace (zip file) for each ad. It is recommended that the zip file name matches the final name of the ad.

  • Each workspace contains its default image (named Default or Backup). This image should be optimized and lightweight.

Note

Note: Naming the workspace and the default image are especially useful when using the ad wizard tool to bulk upload your work; the Ad Name field and the Default field will be filled in automatically. For more information, see Ad Creation Wizard.
