Starting March 3, 2020, we’re making an update to the QA testing workflow. Now, instead of QA testing in the QA tab, you’ll be able to complete the process in the Creatives tab, where all of the same actions can be completed. The QA tab will be gradually removed from accounts, starting March 3. We’re making this change to streamline the QA testing process.
The following actions are now available in the Creatives tab:
- Find creatives that are ready for QA, approved, or rejected
- Approve creatives
- Reject creatives
- Add notes
- Send notifications
Learn more about each of these changes below.
