In the **Activation and Preview** tab, specify a start and end date for your Product Recommendations campaign, select days of the week to run the campaign, and preview the campaign using a product or category.

When a campaign is ready, click **Save campaign** and return to the **Campaigns** tab. New campaigns are inactive by default, so find your campaign and click **Play** to activate it. You can pause or deactivate a campaign in the same way. Changes are applied immediately to your site.
