To save time, you can upload up to 100 native video creatives at once. When you bulk upload, you'll upload all of the creative assets and provide the creative details that you enter when you create a single creative in Display & Video 360. There are two ways to do this:
- Upload your assets, then enter the creative details during bulk upload in Display & Video 360.
- Download and enter creative details in a spreadsheet template, then upload.
Option 1: Upload your creative assets and enter creative details without a spreadsheet
If you prefer not to create a spreadsheet, you can upload your creative assets, then fill in the required creative details during bulk upload.
- Open your advertiser, then click Creatives in the left menu.
- Click New > Bulk add creatives > Native video.
- Upload your creative assets by dragging and dropping them into Display & Video 360, or click Browse to select them. Required assets for native video creatives
- Display & Video 360 will display the list of creative assets you uploaded. Each row represents a creative. Assign assets to the right column for each creative.
- When you're done, review and edit your bulk upload.
Option 2: Fill out a bulk upload spreadsheet
The bulk upload spreadsheet template allows you to enter all of the creative details and asset names at once, then create all the creatives in Display & Video 360 with a single upload.
To create your spreadsheet:
- Open an advertiser, then click Creatives in the left menu.
- Click New > Bulk add creatives > Native video.
- Click Download template to download a blank spreadsheet that includes column headers for each creative field in Display & Video 360.
- Open the spreadsheet. Add a new row for each creative and enter that creative's details. For help figuring out what to enter, read the detailed descriptions of each field below. Note: Spreadsheet uploads may time out if they contain more than 100 creative rows. If you need to upload more than 100 creatives, separate them into multiple spreadsheets.
- (Optional) Add your own columns to the spreadsheet to track other creative notes and details. Any extra columns will be ignored during upload, as long as all the columns are included and in the same order as in the template.
- When your spreadsheet is complete, export it as a CSV file with UTF-8 encoding so that Display & Video 360 can process your upload. Excel files (.xls, .xlsx) are not supported.
- Upload both the spreadsheet file and all of the required creative assets.
- When you're done, review and edit your bulk upload.
