Overview
The Campaigns Manager allows you to create, edit, manage, archive, and delete your campaigns with ease. This guide covers everything you need to know about navigating and using this tool effectively.
Getting There
From the Home Screen:
- Click Manage in the main menu.
- Select Campaigns from the dropdown.
If Favorited, simply click Campaigns in the top bar of the Home screen.
Note: Favoriting adds a direct link to the Campaigns Manager on your Home screen. To favorite, click the heart icon next to the "Campaigns" title. Favorites are stored in your browser, so you’ll need to re-establish them when using a different browser or computer.
