Limitations
- In Dynamic Canvas Studio (DCS), we create an asset source for ad creation. This asset source is required only to create an ad but will not be used when uploading to YouTube. A separate asset source is used for uploading to YouTube.
- In the campaign setup, data signal mapping is required only for the DCS workflow.
