      TIP: For instructions on how to add new Ads, please refer to this article: Create an Ad.

      NOTE: Before creating a new Ad at the Campaign level, it is a good idea to double-check at the Advertiser level to ensure that the ad does not already exist but has not been included in this particular campaign.

      Deactivate Ads

      Over time, the list of ads for an Advertiser can become quite extensive. It is recommended to utilize the deactivate feature to tidy up Ads that are no longer in use. This will retain the Ad for historical and reporting purposes, while removing it from the media plan Ad listing and the default view of the Ads tab.

      Here's how to deactivate an Ad:

      1. Click on the Checkmark next to the name of the Ad.
      2. Press the Deactivate button.

      TIP: When you have finished a campaign and no longer plan to use the Ads, you can easily remove them by filtering your Ad list by the campaign name. Then, select all the Ads using the top check box and click on the deactivate button. This will delete all of those Ads in one step. To activate ads again, simply press the activate button in the same manner.

       

      Delete Ads

      Ads can only be deleted at the Advertiser level and if they are not in use. 

      Here's how to delete an Ad:

      1. Click on the Checkmark next to the name of the Ad.
      2. Press the Delete button.

      NOTE: If the Delete button isn't available, you will need to use Deactivate instead.
