Duplicate campaigns, groups, ads, and keywords

  1. Campaigns
  2. Groups of ads
  3. Ads
  4. Keywords

Object duplication is a copying method where a copy of each object is created in the source parent object.

Example: creating mobile versions for existing ads

You can select several ad groups and duplicate all the ads in them. Each ad will have a copy in the same ad group.

Then you can assign the“Mobile” attribute to all the created copies in the Inspector.

Attention. New objects are created during duplication. The statuses of ads and keywords, along with their accumulated statistics, are not preserved.
Tip. Before making any changes, download up-to-date campaign data from the server.
