Meta introduces "Preview to Publish" flow in Ads Manager
VIVEK GUPTA has flagged that Meta Ads Manager has introduced a new "Preview Ad Setup" step, and renamed the "Publish" button to "Preview to Publish." The updated flow allows advertisers to review their full ad setup: including creative, targeting, and placements: in a preview window before the ad goes live.

What changed
The feature is still rolling out and may not be available in all accounts.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means an additional checkpoint before publishing that reduces the risk of pushing live ads with errors in creative, destination URLs, or placement configuration: worth checking whether the rollout has reached your accounts and incorporating into team QA processes.
