# Create and manage placements

> Create and manage your ad placements in the Unity Monetization Dashboard.

> **Important:**
>
> The New Unity Dashboard currently supports mediated users only.

Create a placement from the **Placements** page of the [Unity Ads Monetization dashboard](https://cloud.unity.com/).

1. Go to **Monetization** > **Placements** from the navigation menu, then click **Create placement**.
2. Select the app you want to add a new placement for, then click **Continue**.
3. Enter a name for your placement.
   > **Note:**
   >
   > The dashboard generates a Placement ID based on your original placement name. The Placement ID can’t be changed, so choose the initial name carefully.
4. Determine if the app you selected is child-directed, either fully or partially through a mixed audience, or not at all.
   > **Note:**
   >
   > You’ll only need to determine an app’s child-directed status one time per app. Future placements that you create for this app will skip this step and allow you to select the ad format and set a placement name directly.
5. Select one or more ad format types you want to create for this placement, then click **Next**.
   > **Note:**
   >
   > A separate placement will be created for each ad format type you select.
6. Copy any required network or network placement IDs to complete app integration, then click **Done**.

If you’re using Unity LevelPlay or another mediation partner, you’ll need to locate the bidding placement you created and copy the associated **placement ID**. This Unity bidding placement ID is required to map to your partner’s equivalent bidding placement in their dashboard.

## Manage placements

Keep track of all or specific placements for an app on the Placements page by using the following filters:

* The **Status** filter to review archived and active placements
* The **Platform** filter to review placements created specifically for Android or iOS
* The **Ad format** filter to review placements created for specific ad format types like banner, interstitial, or rewarded

You can manage your placements after creation with the following limitations:

* A placement's platform (iOS or Android) can't be changed after creation. To create an equivalent placement for a different platform, create a new placement.
* A placement's name can't be changed after creation, so choose it carefully.
* Archived placements can be unarchived at any time. Doing so will resume future impressions to be served.
* Placements can be deleted if they've been archived for over six months, or for over a week with no ad requests.
