# All Ad Regions

Ad Regions are shared content areas that you can create for your Site Managers and some Content Managers to maintain directly from a Page using the Rich-text Editor.

Ad Regions are ideal for rotating home page announcements, product tour slideshows, or traditional rotating graphical ad banners.

Ad Regions are "safe", meaning your Site Managers and some Content Managers cannot edit or delete them, but they can add edit, reorder, label, or delete the Ads that appear within the Ad Regions.

Since Ad Regions are placed into Page Styles, they become shared content that can be displayed on one, some, or all of your website Pages.

Like Common Regions, Ad Regions must be created manually by the Site Designer before Ads can be created for them.

Once you have created the Ad Region, add an <ad> tag to one, some, or all of your Pages Styles to specify the location and scope of your Ad Region across your website's Pages.

If a dynamic Ad Region contains more than one Ad, then previous & next buttons can appear which allow Visitors to browse through the Ads. Site Designers can enable/disable and position these buttons via the Theme Designer for System Themes or enable/disable, position, and style these buttons in the CSS for Custom Themes.
