### How to Build a Marquee Unit
Below you will find a step-by-step process to build a Marquee unit.
1. Provide a *unique* **Name** for the unit, and select **Marquee** from the **Format** dropdown
2. Define your initial ad dimensions (or select one of Adventive's pre-populated options)
3. Backup Image (Optional) and Click URL (Optional) may be left blank at this time, click **Submit**

**Configuring the canvas**
The builder will now load the main Marquee canvas (referred to as Screen 1), and represents the "collapsed" screen. Screen 2 represents the expanded screen and is defined by the dimensions inputted in step #2.
The "pink" section in the below example is consider the "Safe Area" where the most important content should reside. Place your background image on the stage (overflow is fine), then ensure that the text/content are within the "Safe Area."
**Screen 1: Collapsed**
**Screen 2: Expanded**
****
**Configuring the General Ad Properties**
Modifications can easily be made to the general ad configuration using the General Ad Properties panel on the right-hand side of the builder window. See [this article](https://help.adventive.com/en/knowledge/general-ad-properties) for instructions on configuring the General Ad Properties.
