# Choose where commission ads appear

Use **Ads allowed** to choose which blog posts and course lessons can show Commission Machine ads. Turning it off removes that item's saved ads and keeps Buildy from adding more there.

## Leave a post or lesson out

1. Open your project, then **Dashboard > Commission Machine** under **Products**. On a phone, open **Tools** first.
2. Open **Ads & content**.
3. Click **View posts** for the blog, or **View lessons** for a course.
4. Find the post or lesson and turn **Ads allowed** off.

This saves the exclusion without starting a chat request or using Building credits. You can still turn ads off after your Commission Machine access ends.

## Allow ads again

Turn **Ads allowed** on for that item. This makes it eligible for a later **Place ads** request. It does not restore the removed ads or start new work.

New ads show on the live site after you publish the project. Existing product removals and other content exclusions still apply.

## Preview ads before publishing

In **Ads & content**, expand **View posts** or **View lessons**, then choose **Preview** beside an item. This opens its draft in the project Preview. You can check the content and saved ads without publishing the site.

If the control is disabled because ads are off for the whole blog or course, ask Buildy to allow ads there first. Turning ads on requires current Commission Machine access.
