Ad Approval
Review and approve classified advertisements, make modifications, and manage the classification workflow.
Ad Approval
Located under: Ad Management menu
The Ad Approval page allows you to review and make modifications to classified advertisements. Modifications include allocation, cutting, descriptions, offers, and themes. This page is the primary workspace for classification staff reviewing Canada advertisements (radio and television).
Filters
Use the filters to narrow down the ads you want to review. Always set a Start Date and End Date — selecting a large date range may significantly increase load time. For faster results, use smaller date ranges.
