# Formats and templates

## Formats

A format defines the conditions of an ad creative, such as its file size and dimensions.

The *Formats* screen lists all available formats.

To find out more about managing formats in Adhese, go [here](https://documentation.adhese.org/books/inventory-management/page/formats).

## Template files

Adhese does not restrict advertising to the use of IAB standard formats. The Adhese templates solution makes it possible to wrap more complex creatives (e.g. an overlayer, takeover or floor ad) by using advanced functionalities such as JavaScript, HTML and CSS.

There are two ways to manage templates: either directly through the Admin UI or your own Git repository. UI management is unavailable when using the Git repository. The Git repository is recommended for advanced users with many complex templates. The UI can only be used for read-only consultation of the existing templates. The content and features of templates do not differ for each approach.

## UI Managed templates

When using the UI for managing templates, you can edit the files directly through the text editor on the screen.

<p class="callout danger">Changes in a template or advar template will be applied to <strong>all creatives</strong> using the updated templates at the next <a href="https://documentation.adhese.org/books/campaign-management/page/publish">publishing cycle</a>.</p>

### Format Templates

For more information on templates, visit [this page](https://documentation.adhese.org/books/inventory-management/page/templates).

Go to the [positions page](https://documentation.adhese.org/books/inventory-management/page/positions#bkmrk-position-types) to learn more about position types.
