Preview an ad before it goes live
See feed and Stories/Reels renderings of any creative with its current copy.
Click the eye icon
In the Creatives list of step 3, click Preview ad on any row.
Review feed and story versions
The preview shows the ad as an Instagram feed post (1:1 or 4:5) and as a Story/Reel (9:16) side by side, with your Page or Instagram identity in the header and the Sponsored label.
Page through variations
If you added several text variations, use the pager to see each. Ads based on an existing post or ad show a note that the text is indicative — the original post’s copy is what runs.
Apply pending copy
If the note says “Showing the ad copy editor’s current text”, close the preview and click Apply in the Ad copy card to attach it before launch.
