Get started with Ad Library
Use Ad Library to find your campaigns and ads, see the messages and creative people encounter, and review the results. Start with one campaign when you are learning the library. You can compare several campaigns afterward.
A campaign groups related ads. An ad is one message or creative within a campaign. LinkedIn and Individual Targeting are separate sources; choose the one you want to review.
Your first review
- Open Ad Library in the correct workspace.
- Choose Campaigns, then select LinkedIn or Individual Targeting under Platform.
- Check Status and Performance date. The sentence above the results confirms what is included.
- Find a campaign and choose View ads.
- Choose an ad's lower View button to open its full details.
- Read the copy and performance. Inspect the creative or open Landing if you need to check the destination.
Image guide: Start with one campaign and use View ads to see the messages within it. The controls on the left determine which results are included.
The screenshots use meaningful sample campaigns and figures, with approved production artwork. Your workspace's names, results and available actions can differ.
