User Guide · Deliver

Publish an approved release.

Publish takes the version in your editor, creates an immutable release, and puts it on active ad tags. The same dialog lets you inspect history, pause delivery, or return an earlier version to the editor.

External effectRole-gatedImmutable versions

Where classification lives.The Delivery ribbon no longer has a Classification panel. Check the campaign's required product metadata and platform policies with your integration owner before publishing; there is no category picker in this dialog.

Choose ad tags

Open Publish in the top bar. In the Publish tab, the Choose tags for this project table lists active tags. To add one, choose an Ad system, choose the VAST version, then select the check button at the end of the row. Available ad systems are Generic IAB, Google DV360, The Trade Desk, and AdsWizz. Add another row for another destination when needed.

A tag URL stays constant while the version it serves changes. A new tag shows Ready after publish until it can serve a release. Once available, choose Copy tag for the ad server. Removing a tag deactivates it after confirmation; its URL returns no ad until the same ad system and VAST combination is added again.

VAST and audio format

Choose VAST 4.2 or VAST 4.1 for each tag. Delivery currently serves one audio rendition: MP3 · 44.1 kHz · 128 kbps. Confirm both against the destination's specification.

Review the draft state

A project that has not been published is a draft. Before publishing, verify:

creative and record decision rules;
request parameters and decision defaults, including what plays when no record survives;
each token's field and spoken form, including the creative language;
ad systems and VAST versions for the tags;
licences, compliance review, and campaign approval;
Test results for typical listeners and for the no-record case.

Publish

Confirm that your role is authorized to publish, and open Publish from the top bar.
Review Live now and Current project. The latter shows the next version label, even when no editor changes have been made.
Add at least one active ad tag, choosing its ad system and VAST version.
Choose Publish in the bottom row. This starts publishing immediately; there is no second confirmation screen.
Wait for the result. If Publish finds a problem, it names the place to fix; the current live version is unchanged.
Open History to verify the new version and its live state. Copy the tag from the Publish tab when it is ready, then check it with the receiving ad server.

Publishing builds the release without requiring every possible dynamic variant up front. Audio can be resolved as requests arrive. A later publish creates a new release even when the current editor version has the same content.

Publish freezes an external contract.A later project edit does not change the existing release. Complete the edit, review, and publish workflow again to create a new version.

If the version cannot be published, the result identifies the affected Delivery step and the correction. For example, it may require a valid record Pick or an explicit no-record choice. Nothing already live changes. Fix the items, then choose Publish again.

Versions

The History tab lists published versions, review snapshots, and unpublished edits saved before a restore or recovery. A version card shows its date, delivery period when known, audio format, and labels such as Live or In the editor. A review snapshot is a shareable version, not a live release.

Action	Effect
Pause delivery / Resume delivery	Active tags stop serving or resume the current release. The version remains in History.
Make live	Switch active tags to a selected historical version after its serviceability check. The editor is unchanged.
Restore to editor	Replace the current editable project with that version; live delivery is unchanged. Current unpublished edits are saved in History first.
Recover to editor	Restore a saved set of unpublished edits to the editor. The current editor state is saved first; live delivery is unchanged.

Make live, Restore to editor, and Recover to editor each show a confirmation explaining the effect before they proceed. Older versions that cannot run under the current campaign setup remain visible for reference and cannot be made live until the project is republished.

Share for review

Choose Share in the top bar when colleagues need to hear and comment on a version before it goes live. On first use, choose the current work or a saved version, decide whether comments are allowed, add an optional message, and choose Create link. Copy the stable link or open the preview. Reviewers can set a listener situation and hear the result. Their comments appear under Feedback.

When the project changes, the same link keeps showing the last shared snapshot until you choose Share latest changes. Link details offers renewal and a separate preview link. Sharing never activates an ad tag, changes a live version, or advances production listener history.

If publication status or history appears empty

Reload once, confirm the account and project, then check the other Delivery panels. If the state remains unexpectedly empty, contact support with the project name, time, and visible state before publishing.

Post-publish checklist

Version — the expected release exists in History.
Status — Delivering or Paused matches the campaign plan.
VAST — the copied tag parses at the destination.
Media — the served MP3 is reachable and playable.
Decisioning — targeted and default requests select correctly.
Monitoring — the owner and stop procedure are known, and the Delivery report is checked.
