# Manage Ad Defaults as a Brand

When creating new ads or content in your program, you can use default settings to define how they behave. This helps ensure consistent delivery and reduces the time required to configure each item individually.

1. From the top navigation bar, select ![](/files/2qeX6EqajzdOPiwzfeV5) **\[User profile] → Settings**.
2. In the *Program* column, under *General*, select **Ad Settings**.
3. Navigate to the *Defaults* section and choose the settings you want to update as default.
