The Ad Validator in Google Web Designer checks your ad for common issues and displays the results in a panel, along with basic information such as the ad environment, the total size of the ad if it were to be published, and its initial load size. The panel automatically updates whenever you make a change, so it always reflects the working version of your ad.
If any checks fail, the panel displays details about each issue. You can hide or show this information by clicking the name of the failed check.

Validation when publishing
When you're ready to publish your ad, you'll see a summary of the checks made by the Ad Validator in the publish dialog. Any failed checks will be listed. The Ad Validator is informational only, so you can still publish an ad that didn't pass all checks.
Validation checks
The Ad Validator runs different checks depending on the ad environment you selected when you first created the document. If your ad fails a check, look up the message in the table below for details.
