Modify existing advertising content, display targeting, and scheduling settings
How to Edit Display Ads
The Edit Ad interface allows you to modify existing advertising content, change display targeting, update scheduling, and manage ad settings. Unlike other modules, ads must be edited through the dedicated ad edit modal rather than a direct edit option from the main list.
The edit modal provides comprehensive controls for modifying ad content, display targeting toggles, and scheduling settings. All changes must be saved and then published using the 'Publish Ads' button to take effect on the displays.
