To make ad partner selection easier, you can run a cookie scan with Sourcepoint to generate a list of the ad partners you already work with. When you upload the generated JSON file to your Ad Manager account, you can choose to append those ad partners to the previously selected list or replace the previous selections with the new list of ad partners.
