To view and manage all your banners, navigate to Marketing -> Promo Banners -> Banners.

To create a new promotion banner, click the “Add New Banner” button.
The new banner page is divided into 3 sections: General Information, Conditions, and Content.
First, enable or disable your new banner, create its internal name, and set the start and end dates for the banner display. Here, you also choose store views where the banner will be visible, customer groups to which it will be shown, and a placeholder from available options, as well as set the priority.
Next, you can select specific page, category, product, cart items, or cart attributes to set up conditions for the banner display.
In Content, you insert an URL link for redirecting visitors to a particular page after they click on the banner. Then, create the banner content with text or images using native Magento WYSIWYG editor. Note that you can insert widgets and variables here.
As for the placeholders mentioned before, you can view them and add new ones on a separate screen under Marketing -> Promo Banners -> Placeholders. The appropriate grid includes 3 columns: ID, Name, and Action (Edit, Delete). To define a new area on the page for the banner location, press on the “Add New Placeholder” button.
The new placeholder page is divided into 4 sections: General Information, Position, Display Conditions, and Advanced.
In the first section, you can activate/deactivate the placeholder to make it available for selection in the banner settings. Here, you should also create an internal name of the new placeholder and select its display mode – Rotator or Pop Up.
The Position tab lets you decide whether to set up a predefined position for the placeholder or use a position with a specified syntax.
In case of using the predefined position, you should select the pages on which a banner will be placed and a container that will define an exact place on the page. If you want to locate the placeholder before all other elements in the container, enter “-” in the Before field.
In Display Conditions, you can choose attributes for more precise positioning of your banners.
The last section of the new placeholder place allows specifying identifiers and additional CSS classes.
