# Open Monetization

Switch from podcast management to Monetization without leaving Podigee.

Use this task to open the Podigee Audio Video Ad Server. The visible product area is called **Monetization**.

## Before you start

* Sign in to Podigee.
* Confirm that your account has access to Monetization.

## Open Monetization

1. Find the product context switch in the left sidebar. It is below the selected podcast or monetization scope.
2. Select **Monetization**.

![The Podcast context with the Podcast and Monetization choices in the left sidebar.](https://2032417310-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbqUKO6lljHGzkEAzliPI%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-07ee3b120fdac42b96f98a1c08bd9d225d777640%2Fdoc-monetization-003-podcast-context-switch.jpg?alt=media)

*Select Monetization in the product context switch to open the Podigee Ad Server.*

## Expected result

Podigee opens the Control Room. The sidebar shows the Monetization areas that you can use. The **Monetization** choice is active.

If you selected a podcast before the switch, Podigee keeps that podcast as the current scope. You can also use the scope selector to work across all podcasts that you are authorized to manage.

## Return to podcast work

Select **Podcast** in the same context switch. Podigee returns to podcast management and keeps the selected podcast when your access permits it.

## If Monetization is not available

Podigee does not show the Monetization choice when your account does not have access. Ask your workspace administrator to confirm your subscription access and your Monetization role.

## Next step

Review the Control Room. If you need a map of the advertising process, read [Welcome to Podigee Ad Server](/documentation/grow-and-monetize/monetization/welcome-to-monetization.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.podigee.com/documentation/grow-and-monetize/monetization/open-monetization.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
