Overview
Every promotion in Adclear is created using one of four upload types. Picking the right type at the start saves time and prevents avoidable review delays — using the wrong one is one of the most common issues we see. This page is the canonical reference for upload types. Both the Marketing User Guide and the Compliance User Guide refer back to it.Type comparison
| Upload Type | What it creates | Review behaviour | Use when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 1 promotion from 1 asset | 1 approval decision | One ad, one page, one standalone asset |
| Carousel | 1 promotion from one or more frames | 1 approval covers all frames — cannot approve individually | Social media carousels (LinkedIn, Instagram) where all frames belong together |
| Variations | Multiple linked promotions | Each variation reviewed independently — approve one, some, all, or none | Same core message in different formats, channels, or jurisdictions |
| Batch | Multiple unlinked standalone promotions | Each item independent — no linkage | Multiple unrelated ads or pages uploaded at once |
Single
One individual asset (image, video, PDF, text, website link, or Figma frame) submitted as one promotion. Common mistake: Splitting one webpage into multiple Singles. This removes the context the compliance team needs to see the full page together.Carousel
One or more assets grouped into a single promotion — all frames reviewed and approved as one unit. Common mistake: Using Carousel instead of Variations or Batch when you actually need the ability to approve frames individually. Once it’s a carousel, a single decision covers everything.All frames in a carousel are reviewed as a single unit. If you need to update one frame, you must re-upload the full set of frames as a new version.
Variations
Linked but independently reviewable promotions — for example, the same ad sized for different channels, or localised for different jurisdictions. Common mistake: Using Variations as a general grouping tool for completely different pages (e.g. a hub page and a separate product page). Variations are for the same promotion in different forms. If you just want to group unrelated items, use a tag instead.Batch
Bulk upload of multiple standalone, unrelated promotions created in one go. Each is reviewed and approved independently with no linkage between items. Common mistake: Using Batch when Variations was the right choice. If your assets are variants of the same promotion, Variations gives compliance better context and tracking.How decisions apply by type
This table is most relevant if you’re a reviewer — it shows how a single review decision is scoped depending on how the promotion was uploaded.| Upload Type | What it contains | How decisions apply |
|---|---|---|
| Single | 1 asset — image, video, PDF, text, website, or Figma frame | 1 approval covers the whole promotion |
| Carousel | One or more frames as 1 promotion | 1 approval covers all frames — you cannot approve frames individually |
| Variations | Multiple linked promotions (same core message, different formats or jurisdictions) | Each variation reviewed independently — you can approve one, some, all, or none |
| Batch | Multiple standalone, unlinked promotions | Each item reviewed independently with no linkage |
