Release Notes: June 30, 2025

The latest release brings major enhancements across Kevel Console, Ad Server, and Audience. Kevel Console now features a fully integrated Product Catalog experience with search, category filters, and in-page product detail popups, offering a more seamless workflow. Campaign Management has been overhauled with a modern, widget-based layout, support for bulk actions like delete and selection, and full in-line visibility into booking details, rules, and ads. Additional UI and functional improvements include clearer ROAS formatting, better campaign navigation, updated status labels, and responsive layout refinements. In the Ad Server, publishers can now override predicted eCTR and eCPM values per entity directly in Ad Decision Requests, allowing for more effective cold start performance tuning. The Campaign Management UI now displays start/end override dates in the Flight’s timezone for greater clarity. Finally, the Audience platform now supports browser-based file uploads for offline imports, making ad data ingestion easier for testing and one-off scenarios.

Ad Server

Ad Decisioning

Added

• Per-ID eCTR + eCPM Overrides — You can now override predicted eCTR or eCPM values per advertiser, campaign, flight, ad, or creative template field directly in Ad Decision Requests (ADRs). This enables smarter ad selection from the very first impression—especially helpful in cold start scenarios—by aligning delivery behavior with known performance expectations. Visit the Per-ID eCTR + eCPM Overrides page for more details.

Campaign Management UI

Updated

• The Ads Table on the Flight editor page now displays the date and time of start/end overrides in the Flight's timezone and explicitly shows the timezone in this context. Previously these dates used the UI user's timezone.

Forecast

Added
