Zone properties
You can change how a zone responds to an ad request by editing its zone properties.
How to edit zone properties
- Go to the relevant zone's section (Your AdButler > Publishers > Your Publisher > Your Zone).
- Click on Edit Zone Properties on the right menu.
- Edit the properties as needed (see the table below for details on each property).
- Click Save.
You cannot edit the size of a zone once it has been created. If you require a different size other than an existing zone's dimensions, you must create a new zone. This restriction ensures that any existing zone assignments do not get inadvertently cropped or improperly displayed.
