Q1 2026 Product Release Notes
What’s New—and What It Means for You
Q1 delivered a series of improvements designed to make it easier to preview campaigns, manage reporting, control ad quality, streamline workflows, and unlock more performance across the LiveIntent platform. Below is a breakdown of what’s new and how each enhancement helps you work more efficiently and drive better results.
Updates for All Users (Publishers & Advertisers)
Mockups
We’ve made several enhancements to the Mockups tool to help you preview ads in newsletters exactly as they will appear live—while saving time along the way.
What’s new
Support for Animated GIFs: Preview newsletters with animated GIF creatives, ensuring animations appear and function correctly before launch.
Test Sends to Your Inbox: Send mocked-up newsletters directly to your inbox for a real-world preview, rather than reviewing static downloads or in-platform tabs.
Booked Campaign Mockups: Create newsletter mockups directly from existing, trafficked ad creatives in the platform—no need to switch to the standalone tool.
Why it matters
Deliver more accurate, client-ready previews
Catch issues before launch
Save time when working on direct-sold campaigns
Reporting Enhancements
We’ve updated reporting to help you find, manage, and share data more efficiently.
What’s new
New Reporting Tabs: Separate tabs for One Time Reports and Scheduled Reports make reports load faster.
Automatic Report Expiration Notifications: Get email reminders one week before a scheduled report expires—and an alert once it has expired—so nothing lapses unexpectedly.
Publisher & Advertiser Filters: Quickly filter your reports list by publisher or advertiser using a new search-based dropdown and filter icon.
Improved Export Formatting: Reports now have clear, consistent formatting that includes –
Revenue values include a dollar sign ($)
Percentage values include a percent sign (%)
Revenue ($) and percentage (%) values are rounded to two decimal places
Other numeric values remain as whole numbers
Commas will separate groups of three digits (ex. 020,080,193)
Why it matters
Spend less time searching for reports
Avoid disrupted reporting schedules
Share cleaner, more presentation-ready data
Supply-Side (Publisher) Updates

Screenshot Filtering in Ad Recall: Upload a screenshot of an ad creative to visually match and quickly locate similar creatives—speeding up response time when unwanted ads appear.
Advertiser Opportunities Tab in Ad Discovery: Identify advertisers with strong exchange performance who may represent strong revenue potential but are currently ineligible to serve ads across their media group.
Includes an Opportunity Indicator column to help prioritize potential revenue impact.
Bulk Advertiser Selections: Update advertiser eligibility settings in bulk in both Ad Recall and Ad Discovery.
Why it matters
Make more informed content decisions
Act faster on unwanted ads
Unlock incremental revenue opportunities with confidence
Campaign & Line Item Workflow Improvements
We’ve streamlined campaign setup and editing to reduce risk, confusion, and manual effort.
What’s new
Simplified Line Item Priorities: Clear, intuitive labels (Highest → Lowest) replace numeric priorities—without changing existing setups.

Updated SSP Geo Targeting Experience: A modernized interface with:

Creatives in Copied Line Items: Duplicated line items now create independent creative copies—preventing accidental edits to creatives in live campaigns.
Media Group Custom Fields: Create up to three optional custom fields for use during trafficking and reporting.
Unique Mode for Specific Creatives: Prevent the same creative from appearing more than once in a single newsletter open—while stilling allowing multiple creatives from the same advertiser.
