How to swap an ad's creative
Updated on 2026-08-26
Applies to: AdWing Ads & creative
Replace the image or video on an ad with a different creative from your library.
Before you start
- At least one alternative image or video in your creative library.
Steps
- Go to the ad set's Ads page.
- Click the creative thumbnail on the ad you want to change.
- In the picker that opens, select a different creative. You can search by name and filter by Images or Videos.
- Click Done to close the picker.
- Click Push, and confirm Push this ad's changes to Meta?
Result: closing the picker shows "Creative updated — click Push to go live on Meta" and the row highlights briefly. The ad gets a Pending Push badge. After the push, the new creative is live.
If it doesn't work
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| No toast after Done | The selection didn't register | Reopen the thumbnail, re-select, click Done again |
| "No creatives available" in the picker | Your library is empty, or everything is filtered out | Clear the search/filter, or upload a creative |
| The creative shows as in review on Meta after pushing | Meta reviews new creatives before they serve fully | Normal — usually clears within 5–30 minutes |
Live-ads warning ⚠️ Pushing publishes to Meta immediately. Changes affect live ads and can spend real budget. Test with items named
test_unless you intend to change live ads.
