A creative export delivers creative assets and metadata from your advertising platforms to object storage for analytics or long-term storage.
Before you create a creative export, configure the data source to collect creative data. The required data source configuration is the same as the configuration for creative reporting.
Before you begin
You have an existing data source for the advertising platform.
The data source is configured for creative reporting with the platform-specific settings.
You can create exports.
You have access to one of these object storage destinations:
Amazon S3
Google Cloud Storage
Azure Blob Storage
Creative exports to object storage require a Business or Enterprise plan.
Configure the data source
Use the platform guide to configure the data source before you create an export.

What to expect
After the export completes:
Files are delivered to your object storage destination.
Creative assets and metadata are present in the export.
If expected data is missing, verify that the data source uses the platform-specific configuration.
If the export does not contain creative data
Verify that the data source is configured for creative reporting.
Confirm that the required report type, reporting level, feature toggle, or metadata option is enabled for the advertising platform.
Allow the data source to refresh after configuration changes before you run the export again.
