Understand what this lesson solves
When a Meta account is restricted, carry the prior preflight record into a current status check. Confirm layer, submitter, billing, and security, then log next readback.
Set up account control, Pixel, CAPI, and event proof before you choose objectives, structure, audiences, creative, budgets, and catalog campaigns. Finish with compliance and attribution checks.
