The Ion platform has a few shortcuts that can help you publish your creatives even faster! Below, please find a list of these shortcuts formatted for both Windows and Mac users:
- ? – By hitting the question mark on your keyboard, you will be able to pull up a full list of keyboard shortcuts available while editing.

*NOTE: This is not a true preview and content can still be edited in this view - Ctrl+S (Windows) / Cmd+S (Mac) – When an editor is open, this will save any changes made and closes the open editor. (Same as clicking ok)
