Moderation Assist (beta)*

Moderation Assist is a new set of tools available through the Display API for Creative. It is designed to simplify and streamline the ad review process by enabling earlier issue detection, clearer feedback, and faster resolution workflows.

Note: Moderation Assist is an assistive feature. While it highlights select issues early in the process, all ads still go through the standard review process to ensure full compliance with all ad policies.
