How to review and edit ad names before launch

Last updated June 10, 2026

The Review step is the last stop before your ads go live. It shows you exactly what uplads is about to build — every ad, its final name, and how your creatives map to ads — so what you see here is byte-for-byte what lands on Meta. This article walks through previewing, renaming, and the warnings to watch for.

Preview every ad before you launch

At the top of the Review step, uplads tells you the math: how many creatives you selected, how many ads they become, and the total once multiplied across your selected ad sets (for example, "8 creatives grouped into 6 ads × 3 ad sets = 18 ads will be created").

Below that, the Ads card lists each ad unit — one tile per ad that will be created. Each tile shows:

A thumbnail of the creative (or thumbnails, for grouped and carousel ads)
The ad's final name, exactly as it will appear in Meta Ads Manager
A subtitle describing the unit — its placement, Carousel · N cards, or the placement mix for grouped ads (for example FB Feed + Story)

Selecting a tile loads that ad into the live Facebook/Instagram preview on the right, so you can see the creative, copy, and headline rendered as a real post.

Open a detail panel and see grouped multi-placement creatives

Click any ad tile to select it. The preview pane on the right updates to show that ad — the page avatar, primary text, headline, call-to-action, and destination URL.

uplads groups creatives into a single ad when they belong together. A multi-placement ad bundles, say, a 9×16 Story version and a 4×5 Feed version of the same concept into one ad, with each placement getting its own creative. The tile shows all the grouped thumbnails side by side, and the subtitle lists the placements (like Story + Feed). Carousels appear as one unit labeled Carousel · N cards.

This grouping mirrors exactly what the launch worker does, so the preview never lies about how many ads you'll end up with. Learn more in How to launch carousel ads.

Edit ad names inline

Every ad name in the Ads card is click-to-edit — no separate edit button.

Click the name. It turns into a text field.
Type your new name.
Press Enter (or click away) to save.
Press Escape to cancel and keep the original.

A custom name is highlighted and stored as an override for that ad unit. It wins over the auto-generated name and ships to Meta verbatim. To revert to the auto-generated name, clear the field and save an empty value — uplads drops the override and falls back to your naming schema.

Hovering a name shows a pencil hint and a tooltip so it's clear the field is editable.

Edit the naming schema and watch the live preview

Want to change the pattern for all ad names at once rather than one at a time? Use the Naming schema button in the header of the Ads card. It opens the schema editor, and every ad name in the list re-renders instantly as you adjust tokens — a live preview of the whole batch.

A modified badge appears next to the button whenever this launch's schema differs from your saved account default, and the change persists if you refresh or step back and forth in the wizard. It only affects this launch — your account default stays untouched.

If your schema includes field tokens (like Style, Hook, or Dimensions), an Ad naming card appears below where you pick a value per field for each ad — or click Detect all with AI to auto-fill them from the creatives. See:

Catch duplicate-name warnings and validation errors

uplads checks your proposed ad names against the ads that already exist in your target ad sets. If any names collide, an amber Possible duplicate ads banner appears at the top of the step, listing each affected ad set and the conflicting names. This usually means you launched the same creatives there before. It's a heads-up, not a blocker — you can still launch.

You may also see a second amber banner if adding these ads would push an ad set past Meta's hard limit of 50 ads per ad set. It shows the projected total per ad set (existing + new). You can still launch; only the overflow ads beyond 50 will be rejected by Meta.

When everything looks right, set your Ad Status on Creation (Paused or Active) and click Launch. Next up:
