Use Validate to quickly check whether your content is compliant with your organization’s brand identity and guidelines. Catch issues early, fix them faster, and move assets through review efficiently.
Validate an asset
Note
The reference web app is a ready-to-use interface that demonstrates how on-brand validation works in practice. It allows you to upload assets, evaluate them against your brand guidelines, and review results in a simple, intuitive environment.
While fully functional, the app is designed primarily as a reference implementation—showing how the product can be integrated into your own tools, workflows, or platforms.
Select the Browse files option to upload files or drag and drop the files you want to validate.
In the Validate context panel, select the relevant options for Campaign, Channel, Product, and Audience.
Note
The options available in the Validate context panels will be configured after you select the Campaign. Other options will be populated according to your organization’s requirements and standards by your dedicated Forward Deployed Engineering team in the Brand Control Center.
Select Validate at the bottom of the left panel. Wait for the validation check to complete and then review the feedback in the Validation results panel.
Select individual assets to view flagged issues. Further select the issue number to view inline suggestions and the reason behind them being flagged.
