It’s not possible to upload directly to the library at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: How do I filter out only older\/newer images in the media library?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A: Currently, the media library only sorts media files by the date of upload. To more easily filter images by date, we recommend including a date in your file naming scheme to easily find files via search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: Are the images in my media library already approved?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A: We only review ad creative when you submit an ad for review. This means that creative appearing in your media library isn’t guaranteed to pass the review process when submitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: If I delete ads from the ad tab, will they also be deleted from the media library?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A: No, uploaded creative remains in your media library even if you delete the corresponding ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: Will deleting image and video files from the media library remove those file from my ads?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A: No. Changes to files in the media library won\u2019t affect any ads that use those files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Need to reuse ad creative from other ads but don\u2019t have the files locally on your device?
