The Creatives Preview page can be opened in a new tab of your default browser by clicking a Preview button in the creative template blade after saving, as well as by the link http://preview.admixer.net.
When you open the Preview page from the creative template blade, a respective creative will show in the center of the page (default placement). If you open an empty preview page, you should upload a .zip archive with a creative to the server. For that, go to an Upload tab, choose a .zip file on your computer and click Upload.
Admixer Preview Structure
Local Preview
Creative local preview mode. By default, the creative local preview is off. When on, a creative placed on a local device can be opened for preview in a browser.
For that you should:
- Download an archive with Local Server:
- Extract files from the archive, find a localserver.exe file, and open it.
- In an opened window choose a local folder with a creative (the body.html file should be in a root folder) and open a creative in a browser. Choosing Open in browser, a banner opens on the preview page in a default browser. Choosing Copy, a link to the preview page is copied to the clipboard.
Upload Tab
You upload a creative on this tab. You should choose a .zip archive from a local device and click Upload.
