# Publisher FAQ

> Answers about installing and customizing your publisher assistant.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How do I install the assistant?">
    Open Publisher Assistant → Deployment in your dashboard. Copy the container
    where the assistant should appear and paste the generated script after it,
    before the closing body tag. Follow [Getting Started](/publishers/getting-started).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need React, an SDK, or an API key in my page?">
    No. Use the container and script supplied by your dashboard. Keep the publisher
    identifier in that snippet; you do not need to manage API keys or session IDs
    in your site's code.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I choose where it appears?">
    Place the container in your page's HTML, such as below an article or in a sidebar.
    Its ID must match the script's `data-target-selector`. Moving the script alone
    does not move an inline assistant.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I use a CMS?">
    Yes, if it lets you add HTML and run the script. Use a Custom HTML block for the
    container and the site's script or footer field for the dashboard-generated script.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What can I customize?">
    Change branding, colors, text, language, answer settings, and visibility in the
    dashboard. Optional script attributes control suggestions, placement, size,
    and ad-slot behavior. See [Customize](/publishers/controls).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I show suggestions only when the input is focused?">
    Add `data-suggestion-trigger="input"` to your script. Use
    `data-suggestion-placement="below"` or `"above"` to choose the preferred side.
    The dropdown may flip sides to fit the viewport.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do dropdown settings change the expanded assistant?">
    No. They apply only to the collapsed input. Expanded follow-up suggestions stay
    visible, and focusing the expanded input does not open a dropdown.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I show a sponsored creative below the input?">
    Set `data-sponsored-creative-placement="below-input-container"` and
    `data-suggestion-trigger="always"`. Ads must be enabled and an eligible sponsored
    recommendation available. The extra card appears only in a noncompact collapsed
    page or floating assistant, not in input-focus mode, compact ad slots, or the
    expanded conversation.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I control which pages and visitors see the assistant?">
    Use page rules, device targeting, and country settings in the dashboard.
    Excluded paths take priority over allowed paths. The Enabled toggle turns the
    assistant on or off; Enable Ads controls sponsored recommendations separately.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need an ads.txt entry?">
    Add the exact ads.txt line shown in Deployment to your site's `/ads.txt` file
    before monetization.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why is the assistant not appearing?">
    Check Deployment readiness, the Enabled setting, and page, device, or country
    restrictions. Confirm the container exists before the script runs, the selector
    matches, and your site allows the script to load.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need to reinstall after changing settings?">
    Save dashboard changes and reload your page to check them. If you change a value
    included in your installed snippet, update that snippet too; explicit script
    overrides take priority over matching dashboard settings.
