# Creative Library overview Understand creative search, folders, tags, creative types, record tabs, assets, placements, and preview shuffling. Rendered guide: https://planitnebula.io/help/creative-library ## Find creative The Creative Library is the workspace home for browsing, searching, creating, reviewing, archiving, restoring, and linking creative records. ### Open the Creative Library from workspace navigation. Use the Creative Library when you want to browse, search, create, review, archive, or restore creative records across the workspace. ### Search when you know what you need. The search bar supports structured queries, so you can find creative by date, name, update time, and other criteria without scrolling through the whole library. Examples: - created:>today-7 - sort:name - sort:updated_desc ### Switch views based on how you work. List view gives you more detail for each creative. Grid view lets you scan more creative records at once. ### Use filters for routine cleanup. Preset filters make it easier to narrow the library by item type, stage, platform, creative type, and tag. The archived toggle lets you switch between active and archived creative records. ## Create and link Create creative from the library when you are doing setup work, or from a placement when you are already building a media plan. ### Create from the library Open the Creative Library and click “New Creative” when you already know you need a new creative record. ### Create while linking to a placement From a placement’s creative linking flow, click “Create New Creative” when you are building the plan and realize the creative record does not exist yet. ### Link an existing creative Open a media plan, find the placement, use the creative linking area, choose the creative, and click “Link.” Return to the placement to confirm it is connected. ### Required fields - Creative name - Creative type - Any fields required by the selected creative type ### Optional fields - Tags for filtering and organization - Notes for internal context when the creative type supports them ## Organize ### Folders keep related work together. Folders are useful for campaign families, program groups, or any other structure your team uses to keep creative work tidy. You can nest folders, move creative by drag-and-drop, or use the creative settings menu to move a record later. ### Tags make the library searchable in your team’s language. Use tags for labels that matter to your team: campaign, market, audience, program, status, format, or approval context. Consistent tags make filtering useful instead of noisy. ## Creative types ### OmniPost Platform: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit Use OmniPost for standard post-style ads. Select one platform if the creative is platform-specific, or select several platforms when the same creative should run across channels without creating duplicate records. ### OmniCarousel Platform: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn Use OmniCarousel for standard carousel ads on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Reddit support is not currently included for this type. ### Responsive Search Ad Platform: Google Ads, Microsoft Ads Use Responsive Search Ads to manage search copy, including up to 15 headlines, 4 descriptions, and the supporting fields and assets that go with them. The Details tab can be used for feedback on individual pieces of copy. ### Keyword List Platform: Search ads Use Keyword Lists with Responsive Search Ads to track the keywords in the same ad group. A Keyword List can be linked to as many RSAs as needed. ### RSA Asset Package Platform: Google Ads, Microsoft Ads Use RSA Asset Packages for reusable search ad assets. Fill out the package once, then apply it across multiple Responsive Search Ads. ### Display Platform: IAB display Use Display for standard IAB ad sizes. Upload the images that match the sizes your placements need. ### Demand Gen Platform: Google Ads Use Demand Gen for Google Ads Demand Gen campaigns, which have different asset sizes and requirements than standard display creative. ### LinkedIn formats Platform: LinkedIn Use LinkedIn InMail, Conversation Ad, and Document Ad types when the creative is built for those LinkedIn-specific formats. ### Text Ad Platform: Reddit Use Text Ad for Reddit text-first campaign units. ## Record tabs ### Preview Shows the creative or ad preview. It also includes discussion, comments, and feedback when that creative type supports review there. ### Edit This is where most setup work happens. Edit contains the fields for the selected platform and ad type, and it is where you update tags when needed. ### Details Use Details when you want to review the creative without editing it. Some creative types, such as Responsive Search Ads, support comments on individual fields from this view. ### Placements Shows the placements linked to the creative. You will only see placements you have permission to view. ### Assets Shows attached media files, such as images and videos, when the creative has assets available. ### Keywords / Comments Some creative types expose extra tabs. Responsive Search Ads can show Keywords; RSA Asset Packages use Comments instead of Preview because there is nothing visual to preview. ## Workflow and access Creative workflow stages should tell the team what happens next. A stage can show that a creative is still being drafted, ready for internal review, waiting on revisions, approved, eligible to run, or complete. Workspace admins can adjust the stages, transitions, visibility, and approval rules so the path matches how the team reviews creative work. ### Example creative workflow 1. New 2. In Progress 3. Internally Reviewed 4. Revisions Needed 5. Approved 6. Eligible 7. Completed ### Stages: Shape the path to match your team. Workspace admins can rename, reorder, color, add, or retire stages so the workflow reflects how creative review actually happens. ### Transitions: Control where each stage can move next. Define valid stage changes — for example, Approved can move forward to Eligible or back to Revisions Needed instead of becoming a free-for-all status menu. ### Approvals + permissions: Gate sensitive moves with the right roles. Mark stages client-visible, require approval for sensitive steps, and pair approval permissions with the people who should move creative forward. ### Good to know - The creative type you choose determines which setup fields, record tabs, and preview options appear. Choose the platform and format that best match the ad you are preparing before you enter the remaining details. - Nebula only shows actions that make sense for your role and the creative’s current state. If you do not see edit, archive, restore, or link controls, check the creative’s workflow stage and your workspace permissions. - Archive inactive creative when you want to keep the library tidy without losing history, comments, or placement context. Delete should be reserved for records that truly should not remain in the workspace. ## Preview shuffle Some previews can show only a few options at once. Shuffle randomizes eligible headlines, descriptions, images, or assets so you can spot-check different combinations before the creative goes live.
