| Last update | The date that the creative was last modified/updated. |
| Format | The format of the creative. Either “Native”, “Video”, “Banner”, or "Audio". |
| Filtered bids | The total number of bids that were filtered. |
| Opportunity cost |

Expand all Collapse allDisapproved creatives
Disapproved creatives will not serve on Authorized Buyers. Creative disapproval can often be addressed. Review disapproval reasons listed for the creative and try to implement a solution (for example, add a contrasting border around the creative).
There are three ways to get disapproved ads reviewed to be eligible for auction.
- REST API: Submit a creative re-review request by using the REST API.
- RTB BidResponse: Once you have fixed a disapproved creative, submit a new (versioned) creative ID through a bid response. This will ensure that the creative is automatically reviewed by our verification system.
- Manual request: If you are unable to re-submit creatives through the REST API or a bid response, contact your Authorized Buyers support team to manually request a creative re-review.
Note: Creatives running on Open Auction inventory and in a Preferred Deal have two separate statuses available in Authorized Buyers tools and the REST API (v1.4 and later).
Your creative may be:
- Disapproved for Open Auction serving, but
- Approved, or conditionally approved, for serving in a Preferred Deal
Supported languages
Authorized Buyers supports creatives in many different languages. Only creatives in the supported languages will be approved for serving.
