How to close an interstitial ad

[nomad...@gmail.com]

I've built a web ad to appear in mobile devices. But GWD doesn't seem to have the ability to close the interstitial ad. Note that I simply want to close the ad, not close the ad and go to an URL. Is there a way to do this in GWD?

Hi,

Are you building a DoubleClick Interstitial Ad file?

If so, when you publish it to Studio from GWD, it should be passed as Mobile in-app format and the MRAID apis automatically add a close button in your creative:

"you don't have to add a close button because the SDK automatically adds one to the upper right corner when the ad goes live in the mobile application."

Please also see the following help article if you would like to know how to add a close button (for other formats):
