If a placement does not support the uploaded creative format, the preview will display the **error message returned by Meta** explaining why the ad cannot render in that placement. This helps identify compatibility issues without needing to navigate to Meta Ads Manager. --- ## Generating a shareable preview link Ad Manager allows you to generate a **shareable preview link** that opens the ad inside Meta’s preview environment. This link can be shared with team members or stakeholders to view the ad rendering. ![Generating a shareable preview link (image 4 of 6)](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/155066972699/original/w4PJnPIEgpVK9eOmXAlmU7QqsywW-Cq5Ow.png) **Generating a shareable preview link (image 4 of 6)** This screenshot appears in the "Generating a shareable preview link" section of "How to view advanced preview and get shareable preview links for Meta Ads".
