Update Segment Activation for Publisher Optimization for Non-IAS Advertisers

Notes: 

• Activating / deactivating segments is only available to a select few publishers. If you only have view access to the Context Control Center, go to the Context Control Center for Publishers instead for general guidance.

• The Context Control Center for publishers only shows activation on the publisher side, it does not show activation on the advertiser side.

5. The Activation status column updates accordingly and the activation process starts.

6. The activation process completes in about 3 hours.

7. After activation, publisher ad servers start receiving newly-activated segment keys if the web content is associated with the activated contextual segments as a part of the publisher optimization offering.
