Pause or resume your ads

Once your ads are up and running, there may come a time when you want to stop them. If you’re running an ad for wool coats in the US, you probably don’t need that ad to run in the summer. Come October, however, you might want to get it up and running again. By pausing your ad, you can save the ad for later without having to rewrite it and send it through review again.

This article shows you how to pause or resume a single ad or multiple ads at the same time.
