Changes in the new Direct Commander

The new Commander has just two panels, but even one is enough to do the job.

For example, if you selected one or more campaigns on the Campaigns tab and then moved to the Ad groups tab, it doesn't matter whether you are using the same panel or not. Either way, you will see ad groups that belong to the selected campaigns.

Inspector also makes it easier for you to navigate through data. For example, you can find and select campaigns that include the selected keywords. Learn more
