Snapshots in Motion let you capture and share frozen reports of your ad performance.
They’re perfect for collaboration with clients, teammates, and creative partners because anyone with the link can view the insights and ad previews — without needing access to Motion or the ad account.
Think of Snapshots as your go-to tool for reporting, creative briefs, and saving insights.
1. Share Performance Insights with Your Team, Clients, and Partners
Snapshots make it easy to share performance data in a clear, visual way. They’re perfect for:
Weekly reports
Quick leadership updates
Sharing wins across the team
With Snapshots, you can:
Enable conditional highlighting to make performance trends stand out instantly. This helps viewers quickly understand the story your data is telling.
Customize table columns to highlight the metrics that matter most to your team. Whether it’s CTR, spend, conversions, or creative engagement. You can also filter by specific ads so your insights stay focused and relevant. For faster workflows, save these columns as a custom preset to reuse in future reports.
Ensure everyone can view previews without needing Motion or Ads Manager access
👉 Once a Snapshot link is shared, viewers can see the report and ad previews, but they can’t edit anything, keeping your data safe.
2. Brief Creative Teams and Align on Next Steps
Snapshots streamline creative handoffs by combining performance data, ad previews, and comments in one place.
Use Snapshots to:
Identify ads worth iterating on
Add briefs directly in the description (e.g., suggested hooks, CTAs, or creative tweaks)
Use the comment section to collaborate before production begins
Allow creative teams to download assets directly from Motion for editing
This eliminates back-and-forth across Slack, email, or file-sharing tools.
3. Save & Revisit Insights Anytime
Snapshots aren’t just for sharing — they also help you preserve learnings.
Document key performance insights so they don’t get lost
Build a library of creative takeaways in Notion, Asana, or your project tracker
Access all past Snapshots anytime in the Snapshot Manager within Motion
This way, valuable insights stay accessible for future campaigns.
