Create categories under Admin → Categories. Any category with more than 3 stories gets an automatic "View More" page with search.

If the chosen category has a default Access setting, it just pre-fills this for a brand-new story — you can still switch it per story.

Only up to 3 stories can be featured at once — shown on the homepage.

Off = one single image or video, like before. On = upload several videos and/or pictures — e.g. a video showing what this is for, then a picture as the call-to-action — and this one ad plays them one after another. Each clip gets its own Skip Delay. The full sequence (videos included) plays in the "🔓 Unlock fallback" fullscreen ad; in the ordinary Stories/Books spots only the picture clips are shown, in order, because video never autoplays there.

Leave blank for a plain, non-clickable ad. Ignored for the unlock-fallback flow (visitors are mid-unlock there, not browsing).

Only matters for the "🔓 Unlock fallback" placement below: when this ad plays fullscreen to unlock a book/product/story, the visitor can't skip until this many seconds pass. 0 means skippable immediately.

Pick one or more spots — select several so the same ad can turn up in more than one place. "Unlock fallback" is different from the rest: if a "Watch Ad to Unlock" book, product, or story's Google ad isn't available, this ad plays fullscreen instead — a Skip button appears once the Skip Delay above has passed, and skipping (or the video finishing on its own) closes the ad and unlocks the item right away. Only VIDEO ads are ever used for this — checking this box on an image-only ad has no effect on the unlock flow (it'll still show in any other placements you pick). The reverse also applies: a video-only ad shows nowhere except here, since the ordinary spots are pictures only. If none of your video ads are marked as fallback (or you have no video ads at all), visitors are unlocked directly rather than left stuck.

Leave unchecked to run this ad every day, like before. Check this to pick exact days on the calendar — each day shows how many other ads are already booked on it, so you can see what's free without opening every ad one by one.

Leave unchecked to keep running this ad with no view limit, like before. Check it to set a total — once the ad has been shown that many times it stops appearing anywhere on its own, without you having to come back and switch it off.

Inactive ads are kept here but never shown or shuffled in.

Overrides the site-wide image size just for this category's cover images, on the homepage showcase and its "View More" page.

Fixed as "Smart Reads" for books added from that tab.

A PDF is already uploaded for this book. Choose a new file only if you want to replace it.

Readable in the built-in protected reader only, up to 25MB — same as Products/Stories.

How long the reader stays unlocked on that visitor's device after they watch the ad. Ignored when "Require ad to unlock" is off.
