If you logged into Creator Connections this week and felt your stomach drop because your campaigns looked like they vanished, take a breath. I’ve been getting a flood of messages about this, and I’m seeing the same panic all over the Facebook groups. Campaigns gone. Accepted offers nowhere to be found. The whole dashboard looking unfamiliar. Here’s the good news: nothing is broken, and you didn’t lose anything. You’re just looking at the wrong view. Let me show you exactly what changed and how to fix it in about three seconds.

Nothing Is Actually Missing
I want to say this first because I know how it feels to think your hard-earned, accepted campaigns just disappeared. They didn’t. Your campaigns are still there, still active, and still tied to your account. Amazon did not delete them, pause them, or quietly kick you out of anything. What actually happened is that the Creator Connections interface now opens on a different default view than it used to, and that view doesn’t show the list you’re used to seeing. So when the page loads and your familiar campaigns aren’t front and center, it looks like everything is gone. It isn’t. It’s one click away.
What Amazon Changed in the Default View
Here’s the actual change. When Creator Connections loads now, it defaults to the sponsored products for creators view. That’s the EPC-focused screen, and it’s a completely different layout from the campaigns list you’ve been working out of. Because it loads there by default, the first thing you see isn’t your accepted campaigns at all. It’s the sponsored products data. Same program, same account, just a different tab loading first. Once you understand that the page simply opens somewhere else now, the “missing campaigns” mystery solves itself.
The Three-Second Fix
This is the whole solution, and it’s almost too simple. At the top of the Creator Connections screen there’s a toggle between views. You’ll see the active view marked with a blue line or highlight. All you have to do is click over to the campaigns view at the top of the page. The moment you do, every campaign you’ve already accepted and everything you normally work with snaps right back into place, exactly like before. That’s it. No support ticket, no waiting, no re-accepting anything. One click and you’re back to your normal dashboard.
- Open Creator Connections like you normally would.
- Notice it’s loading the sponsored products / EPC view by default.
- Click the campaigns view toggle at the top (the one not currently highlighted in blue).
- Your accepted campaigns and usual list reappear instantly.
Why This Keeps Tripping People Up
The reason so many of us got caught off guard is muscle memory. For a long time, Creator Connections opened straight to your campaigns. You’d log in, glance at the list, and get to work. When a platform silently swaps the default landing view, your brain reads “different screen” as “something’s wrong.” Add in a few panicked posts in the Facebook groups and suddenly everyone’s convinced their campaigns got wiped. I honestly don’t know why Amazon decided to default everyone into the sponsored products view, but knowing that’s the behavior means it’ll never spook you again.
Sponsored Products vs. Your Accepted Campaigns
It’s worth understanding the two views so you always know where you are. The sponsored products for creators view is built around EPC and the sponsored opportunities Amazon is surfacing. The campaigns view is your working list, the brand campaigns you’ve browsed, accepted, and are actively creating content for. Both matter, but they serve different jobs. If you’re checking on commitments you’ve already made or planning your next round of content, you want the campaigns view. If you’re scouting sponsored opportunities, the default view is fine. Just know which one you’re looking at before you assume anything is missing.
Don’t Panic When the Dashboard Shifts
This is a good reminder for the whole Amazon Influencer Program: the dashboards change constantly. Tabs move, defaults get swapped, layouts get refreshed, and labels get renamed. Ninety-nine percent of the time when something looks “broken,” it’s a UI change and not a problem with your account. Before you spiral or post in a group, click around the top-level tabs and toggles first. Most “missing” things are just one view over from where you expected them. Staying calm and curious instead of panicked will save you a lot of stress as this program keeps evolving.
Stay On Top of Creator Connections
Staying on top of Creator Connections, your accepted campaigns, and your storefront is exactly the kind of thing I want to make easier. Keeping your finger on what’s live, what’s filling up, and where the real opportunities are is a huge part of growing your commissions. Tools like the Comparison Video Schedule and Storefront Cross Check inside Oink are built to help you track what you’re working on so a surprise UI change never derails your momentum.
If managing Creator Connections, your storefront, and your product research feels like a moving target, that’s exactly why I built Oink for Influencers. It’s the Chrome extension I use to research campaigns, cross-check my storefront, and find winning products faster so I can make more commissions in less time.
