Activate your first campaign turns on the campaign you drafted so referrers can start sharing. This is launch, not Prepare to launch. The launch checklist must already be open. The row stays locked until these steps are complete:
1

Open the Step

On the Onboarding Hub, click Activate your first campaign. Mention Me opens that campaign in the editor, or the campaigns list if more than one applies.
2

Review the Draft

Check rewards, journeys and sharing. The launch wizard also lists optional improvements. Those are recommendations, not blockers.
The Before you launch step listing voucher stock recommendations

The Before you launch step, with optional voucher stock recommendations.

3

Launch

Click Launch and work through the wizard. For a first campaign, choose Launch now.Confirm. The campaign goes live and the hub marks the step complete.
The Launch options step showing Schedule launch and the version timeline

The Launch options step, with Schedule launch and the before-and-after timeline.

If the version has unresolved errors, the wizard shows Not ready to launch and lists the issues. Fix each one, then launch again.
The hub also suggests reviewing your referral pages and sending yourself a test referral before you launch. The full launch wizard, including promotions and queueing, is How to Launch a Campaign and Version. Use that article once you have more than one version.
