Understanding Meta’s Early Release Program

Meta’s Early Release Program is designed to provide advertisers with early access to new features that are still in the testing phase. This program is not available to everyone; only a small percentage of advertisers are selected to participate. The primary goal is to validate the performance and suitability of these features before they become available to a broader audience. As such, some features may be adjusted or even retracted based on feedback from this select group.

Interestingly, there is no official application process to join the Early Release Program. Participants are chosen by Meta, and the criteria for selection remain unclear. If you find yourself as part of this program, it means Meta has identified your account as a valuable testing ground for new tools and features.

How to Identify Early Release Features

If you’re part of Meta’s Early Release Program, identifying these exclusive features is straightforward. When exploring the Ads Manager, you might notice a label indicating “Early Release” next to certain tools. For instance, the “Translate Text” feature under Advantage+ Creative is one such example. This feature, which enables advertisers to automatically translate ad text into different languages, is currently marked as an Early Release.

To find these features, navigate to the Advanced Preview section in Ads Manager. Keep an eye out for the Early Release label, which signifies that the feature is part of the program and available for testing.

The Difference Between Early Release and AI Generation Features

While exploring the Ads Manager, you may come across an option labeled “Test New AI Generation Features.” It’s important to note that this is distinct from the Early Release Program. The AI Generation Features option includes a different set of tools, and the “Translate Text” feature is not listed among them.

The existence of both the Early Release Program and the AI Generation Features option might seem redundant, but they serve different purposes. The Early Release Program focuses on a broad range of features, while the AI Generation Features specifically target advancements in artificial intelligence within advertising.

Navigating the Lack of Official Documentation

One challenge with the Early Release Program is the limited official documentation available. Recently, Meta removed some of its official information regarding the program, leaving participants with little guidance. Despite this, the Early Release label continues to appear on certain features, indicating that the program is still active.

For advertisers, this means staying vigilant and regularly checking Ads Manager for updates. By keeping an eye on new features and labels, you can ensure that you’re making the most of the opportunities presented by the Early Release Program.

Conclusion

Meta’s Early Release Program offers a unique opportunity for advertisers to gain early access to innovative features. While the selection process remains a mystery, those who find themselves in the program can benefit from testing new tools before they are widely available. By understanding how to identify these features and distinguishing them from other testing options, you can leverage the program to enhance your advertising efforts. Keep an eye on your Ads Manager and stay informed to make the most of this exclusive opportunity.
