Making a review decision
1
Open the promotion
From My Tasks or the Promotion Dashboard, click the promotion to open it.
2
Review the asset and AI suggestions
The Submit for Review page shows the promotion alongside AI-generated compliance suggestions. Review both carefully. Check the upload quality before proceeding. If the asset appears blurry, cropped, or incomplete, consider requesting a higher-quality resubmission rather than making a final decision.
3
Interact with the AI comments
Each AI comment needs an action: agree, dismiss, or mark as relevant but not required. The substance of how you respond shapes how Adclear’s agents calibrate over time. See Helping Adclear Learn for the full mechanics, and what strong responses look like.
4
Add a comment where needed
Leave a comment explaining your decision, especially for rejections, change requests, or dismissed AI suggestions. Be specific about what needs to change and where. The uploader will see this.
5
Select your decision
Click Approve, Conditionally Approve, Reject, or Request Changes.
Decision outcomes
After any decision, you are recorded as the reviewer on the promotion.
When you select Conditionally Approve, enter a clear condition in the
dialog. Adclear adds it to the promotion as your comment, so the uploader can
see what must change. The next version may be eligible for self-approval after
the uploader addresses that condition.
That last point is worth being deliberate about. Where your workspace has a
self-approval rule covering conditionally approved resubmissions, the uploader
can approve their own next version even if they cannot self-approve ordinary
submissions. Your condition is then the last review step on that promotion, so
write it precisely enough to act on without a follow-up conversation.
Choosing Request Changes instead removes that extra path, but it does not
guarantee another reviewer sees the next version: an uploader covered by an
ordinary self-approval rule can still approve their own resubmission. Whether any
decision forces a second reviewer depends on your workspace’s self-approval
rules, which your compliance admin can see on the Self Approval settings page.
Conditionally Approve is a decision for a reviewer, not for an uploader. It
records a change you expect someone else to make, so it does not appear on a
promotion you uploaded yourself, even where you can otherwise approve your own
work. Approve it or leave it unapproved instead.
Reviewing variations
Each variation appears as its own task and can be reviewed independently or together.- You can apply different decisions to each variation. For example, approve one and request changes on another.
- You can also approve all variations at once if appropriate. Use the bulk approval option from the variation group view.
- If a specific reviewer was assigned to a variation, the variation surfaces in their tasks. Other reviewers with permission for the relevant market can still pick it up.
- Uploaders may submit variations individually or all at once. You may see them arrive in your tasks separately or together.
Evergreen promotions
Evergreen promotions require periodic re-review. When you approve one, Adclear will prompt you to set the next review date.- If the next review date is today or has passed, a pop-up will appear requiring you to set a new date before approval can complete. You cannot skip this step.
- If the next review date is in the future, approval proceeds normally.
