• Size: For responsive layouts, you can select the Export sizes individually checkbox to generate published files separately for each selected size in the dropdown.

• Select or deselect the following publishing options. Some options may be unavailable for your document type:

  • Flatten Files - Places all files into a single folder. (Selected automatically for ads.)
  • Create Zip - Compresses all files into a single .zip file.

Once the settings are complete, click Publish.

After publishing, you can share the resulting .zip file or folder, or upload it to an ad platform such as Google Ads or to a web host.

Associated creatives

Publishing a document to Studio creates an association which allows Google Web Designer to remember your settings and reuse them whenever you publish to Studio. Once the association is in place (indicated by a lock icon in the Publish button menu), publishing to Studio saves a new draft of the same creative.

To remove the association:

1. Click the down arrow on the Publish button at the top of the window.
2. In the pop-up menu, click the lock icon next to Studio, then confirm that you want to remove the association.

The next time you publish to Studio, you can publish the document as a new creative.

• Select or deselect publishing options:
  • Inline local files - Places the JavaScript and CSS within the HTML file, rather than in external files.

Publishing a document to Display & Video 360 creates an association which allows Google Web Designer to remember your settings and reuse them whenever you publish to Display & Video 360. Once the association is in place (indicated by a lock icon in the Publish button menu), publishing a creative to Display & Video 360 saves a new draft of the same creative.

No association occurs for custom formats. Publishing a custom format multiple times generates a new format each time, although your partner and advertiser settings will be remembered.

To remove the association:

1. Click the down arrow on the Publish button at the top of the window.
2. In the pop-up menu, click the lock icon next to Display & Video 360, then confirm that you want to remove the association.
