# Publications

A publisher maintains online **publications** such as a website, blog, video channel, newsletter, smartphone app, or webshop. Adhese is platform-agnostic: it can support any type of publication.

You can filter the *Publications* screen by publisher and select a publisher from the **Show only** drop-down menu above the list. You can filter the *Publications* screen by publication status using the **Filter** drop-down menu. Determine the number of results to display from the **Number of results** drop-down. Use the *search* bar to search for a specific publication.

# Create a new publication

1. Click *Admin* in the left navigation menu. This opens the *Administration* screen.

4. In the **Publisher** drop-down, select the publisher to which the publication belongs.
5. Select *yes* or *no* to determine whether the status of the publication is active or not in the **Active?** drop-down. By default, a new publication is active. If a publication is set to inactive, you will not be able to use it to serve ads.
6. Enter a name for the publication in the **Name** field.
7. (Optional) Enter a short name for the publication in the **Quote** field. Adhese uses the quote as a short notation for the publication and displays it in the list of locations (see [Create a new location](https://documentation.adhese.org/books/inventory-setup/page/locations#bkmrk-create-a-new-locatio)).
8. (Optional) Enter the publisher’s contact details in the **Street**, **Number**, **Postal code**, **City**, **Country**, **Phone**, and **Fax** field
9. To preview uploaded creatives in Adhese, provide the URL of the publication's website in the **Website** field.
10. Click the *Save* button at the bottom of the form to save your new publication.

<p class="callout warning">Make sure to use a full URL (e.g. https://example.com) instead of a short URL (e.g. example.com)</p>

<p class="callout danger">Deactivating a publication prevents new bookings from being created for it. Running bookings, including bookings where the publication is part of a channel, remain active. The owner of the deactivated publication is responsible for removing all requests to Adhese.   
To prevent running bookings from delivering on deactivated publications, create a 100% SOV booking coupled with an empty ad on the highest priority. Check that this booking has priority over all other bookings in the competing bookings list and/or the planned daily traffic graph.
