## **🗺️ Overview**

Launchpad is accessed through the **Ads** section inside Search Atlas. Some older help articles may refer to this area as **MetaGhost** or place it under **Smart Ads** — those references are outdated. This article gives you the correct, verified navigation path so you can find Launchpad without confusion.

## **📍 Where to Find Launchpad**

Follow these steps to open Launchpad in Search Atlas:

1. Log in to your Search Atlas account.
2. In the **left sidebar**, locate and click **Ads**, then select **Meta Ads** → **Launchpad** (Meta Ads Launchpad, Creative Drive & Analytics).

If you do not see Ads in your sidebar, check that your account has the correct plan or permissions enabled. Some features are plan-dependent.

## **⚠️ A Note on Outdated Article Names**

You may come across older Search Atlas help articles titled **Getting Started with MetaGhost (Meta Ads)** or **MetaGhost — Frequently Asked Questions**. These articles previously used the name **MetaGhost** and directed users to a section called **Smart Ads**. Both names have since been updated in the platform.

- The correct UI label is now **Meta Hub** — not MetaGhost.
- The correct sidebar section is **Meta Hub** — not Smart Ads.
- Any navigation instructions referencing MetaGhost or Smart Ads should be disregarded in favour of the steps above.

## **🛠️ Troubleshooting**

If you followed the steps above and still cannot locate Meta Hub or Launchpad, consider the following:

- **Check your sidebar:** Make sure you are scrolling through the full left sidebar, as some sections appear lower in the list.
- **Confirm your plan:** Meta Hub features may only be available on certain subscription tiers. Review your plan details under account settings.
- **Clear your cache:** If the sidebar looks different from what is described here, try a hard refresh (**Ctrl + Shift + R** on Windows or **Cmd + Shift + R** on Mac) or clear your browser cache and log back in.
