# Why can’t I upload my own design?

You can’t upload your own design in a **template-based campaign**.
If you want to use your own materials or templates, you must create a **special campaign**.

### How this works
* **Template-based campaigns**
    * Use templates provided in **Explore**
    * Do **not** allow uploading external designs
    * Are meant for fast, standard campaigns
* **Special campaigns**
    * Are used when you want to work with **your own templates or materials**
    * Do not rely on platform templates
    * Usually require **manual approval**
The option you choose determines what is allowed.

### Important to know
* Uploading designs is **not available** in template-based campaigns
* This is intentional and not a system error
* Not all brands or budgets allow special campaigns
* Approval requirements may be stricter for special campaigns

### What to do if you want to use your own design
* Start campaign creation as a **special campaign**
* Follow the special campaign flow
* Submit the campaign for approval if required
