Facebook Ads: Previewing Your Live Ad
2 min read
See an example of how your live ad looks on Facebook from the Facebook Ads dashboard. If you are running a dynamic ad campaign, you will see an example of what an ad may look like to a subset of your audience.
Note:
It can take up to 72 hours for Facebook to generate the live preview link if you are creating or editing a campaign.
To preview your live ad:
- Go to Facebook Ads in your site's dashboard.
- Click the Campaign Actions drop-down at the right.
- Click Preview ad.
- Click Preview on Facebook to view one of the ad variations on Facebook.
