You can preview your creatives and placements to test that your content appears and behaves the way that you want it to. See the following sections:

• Preview a creative: A creative is the visual content of an ad. When you preview a creative, you can preview the videos, images, interactive widgets, and other content. A creative preview does not include a preview of the ad's play mode, expansion behavior, or other settings that you specify when you assign a creative to a placement. See To preview a creative.
• Preview a placement with no creative assigned: Before you assign a creative to a placement, you cannot preview the placement because there is no visual to display.
• Preview an ad: An ad is a trafficable unit created by a combination of a creative and a placement. When you preview an ad, you can preview the creative content and the placement settings. See To preview an ad.
• Preview a placement with multiple creatives: After you assign a single or multiple creatives, you can preview the placement to see a specific placement and creative combination. If you enable ad rotation, such as dayparting (see Rotating the ads in your campaign), each creative you assign to the placement creates a unique trafficable unit. When you preview the placement, you can preview the creative content for the rotation set up. See To preview a placement with multiple creatives.
