Standard Enhancements Preview

Starting with Marketing API v22.0, previews for standard enhancements will no longer be available. Instead, you can get the previews of individual Advantage+ Creative features by following the instructions in Get Started with Advantage+ Creative.

The sub-features within the standard enhancement bundle for single image ads include image_template, image_touchups, text_optimizations, and inline_comment. For single video ads, the sub-features are video_auto_crop, text_optimizations, and inline_comment.

The Advantage+ Creative Preview API supports generating previews for ads both before and after publishing the ad.

Name	Description
`creative_feature`	Creative feature to apply to preview. Possible values: `standard_enhancements`

Limitations

Advantage+ Creative previews are currently only supported on the MOBILE_FEED_STANDARD, INSTAGRAM_STANDARD, INSTAGRAM_REELS and INSTAGRAM_STORY placements.
Image ad previews on MOBILE_FEED_STANDARD may appear cropped, even without manual crops, because the placement supports a limited range of aspect ratios. See Aspect ratios supported by placements in Meta Ads Manager for more information about aspect ratio support for each placement.
The following transformations in Standard Enhancements do not have preview support:
- Inline Comment
- Text Liquidity
