# Updating Inflight Campaigns

## This article will walk you through updating inflight campaigns in the campaign manager.

### **Ad Creative Updates**

When you make updates to creatives in the builder that have been added to campaigns, you’ll need to republish the campaign to push changes to live ads.

### **Third-Party Tracking Updates**

You’ll also need to republish ads if any third party tracking is added to ads in a campaign. Adventive embeds third party trackers in the actual ad code (vs appending to the end of the tag), allowing you to update or add tracking at any time **without generating new tags or re-trafficking**.

### Helpful Hints

Update third party trackers from the Campaign Manager, not in the Builder.  Once you have the ad in a placement in a campaign, you would replace your default url placeholder and any other urls/placeholders with a tracker.  

Everything you do in the campaign manager will override the builder (trackers will not show in the builder - as this is one creative unit in the builder - this allows you to use the same unit multiple times in a campaign with multiple tracking).  

You can Preview each ad from the Campaign Manager by clicking on the eyeball icon to the right of each ad.

**If you’ve made creative changes or updated third party tracking to ads that are included in a campaign, a notification will appear at the top of that Campaign Overview:**

Click the republish button at the top of the page to republish all ad units that have been updated.

Alternatively, click the republish icon![](https://help.adventive.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/support.adventive.comhcen-usarticle_attachments203816536Picture4-1.png)next to the individual ad line items to republish just that particular ad unit.

 

***Note:**  Depending on caching, it may take up to 5 minutes for changes to be updated across Adventive’s CDN.  **No need to export new tags.***

***Anything done at the Campaign Management level will override the Builder. ***
