# Submitting for review

> Create a promotion, fill in the required fields, and submit it for review.

## Overview

Once you've decided on your upload type and prepared your files, you create the promotion in Adclear, fill in the required details, and submit it for review.

<Tip>
  Before clicking Submit, read [Helping Adclear learn](/how-you-help-adclear-learn). The way you respond to Adclear's automatic comments before submission directly affects how quickly your promotion gets through review.
</Tip>

## Creating a promotion

Go to the Promotions page and click + Add New. The New Promotion page has the four upload types covered in Upload Types.

### Required fields (all types)

Every promotion needs:

* Promotion name
* Product
* Jurisdiction
* Channel
* Deadline

### Optional fields

| Field              | Purpose                                                                                                                                |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Additional details | Free-text notes for the reviewer                                                                                                       |
| Paid promotion     | Toggle to indicate paid content                                                                                                        |
| Evergreen          | Toggle for promotions requiring periodic re-review                                                                                     |
| Assigned reviewer  | Assign a specific reviewer. Anyone with the right permissions for the relevant market can still pick the promotion up                  |
| Reviewer preset    | Choose a multi-level approval preset. If your admin has mapped the jurisdiction to a preset, this is selected automatically and locked |

<Note>
  If your organisation has jurisdiction autoapply enabled and your admin has mapped the selected jurisdiction to a reviewer preset, the preset selector is locked and shows a "Required by" label. You cannot change it. See [Jurisdiction autoapply](/multi-level-approval#jurisdiction-autoapply) for more detail.

    Connect your Frame.io account once, then paste a Frame.io link to import a video (MP4 or MOV, up to 2 GB) without downloading and re-uploading it. See [Importing from Frame.io](/marketing/importing-from-frameio) for the full guide.

## Batch upload

Batch creates multiple standalone promotions at once. Each is reviewed and approved independently.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select the Batch tab and upload files">
    Each file appears as a separate promotion block.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the first block and apply to all">
    Complete the details for one promotion, then click Apply to all to copy shared settings across all blocks.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create">
    Click Create Promotion. All promotions are created in Draft status.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  If one file in the batch is invalid, the valid files still upload and a validation message appears under the invalid block only.
</Note>

## Carousel

Creates a single promotion from one or more frames, reviewed and approved as one.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select the Carousel tab and upload your files">
    Each file becomes a frame in the carousel.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in promotion details">
    Add the promotion name, product, jurisdiction, channel, and deadline.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create and submit">
    Click Create Promotion, then Submit for Review. One approval decision covers all frames.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  All frames in a carousel are reviewed as a single unit. You cannot approve frames individually. If you need independent approval per asset, use Variations instead.
</Warning>

## Variations

Creates linked but independently reviewable promotions for the same core message in different formats.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select Variations and upload files">
    Each file becomes a separate variation. At least 2 files are required.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Create">
    Click Create Promotion. All variations appear as a collapsible group in Draft status, tagged with a Var- prefix.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Apply to all on the Variations tab only propagates the jurisdiction field. All other shared settings (name, product, channel, deadline) are set once at the top and apply automatically.
</Note>

## Submitting

From the promotion's Submit for Review page, click Submit for Review. The promotion moves to Pending Review and appears on the relevant reviewer's tasks.

If you're submitting a variation group, a modal will ask whether to submit this promotion only or all remaining promotions. Submitting all moves every variation to Pending Review simultaneously.
