Edit campaigns and other items one at a time

If you only need to update settings for one or two specific items, such as updating location targeting for a couple of campaigns, edit campaigns and other items one at a time. The changes that you make will be in effect immediately.

For a limited set of common settings, you can apply bulk edits to a group of campaigns or items all at once.
For example, you can specify a 5% increase in the daily budget and then apply the increase to a group of campaigns all at once.

1. Navigate to the engine account that contains the campaigns or ad groups.

Special notes for editing Microsoft Advertising campaigns or ad groups

Note the following when editing a Microsoft Advertising campaign or ad group:

Campaign budgets

Microsoft Advertising campaigns can specify a daily or monthly budget. If you're changing from a campaign daily budget to a monthly budget, make sure you remove the old Daily budget amount. Likewise, if you're changing from a campaign monthly budget to a daily budget, make sure you remove the old Monthly budget amount.

Ad group targeting

Microsoft Advertising ad groups can override any of a campaign’s targeting settings. However, from Search Ads 360 you can only override device targeting and some types of location targeting. If you specify these additional targeting settings from Microsoft Advertising and then later change any targeting setting for the ad group from Search Ads 360, Search Ads 360 will traffic all of the ad group’s current targeting settings to Microsoft Advertising. This could have some unintended consequences:

• Bid adjustments: Any bid adjustments for the ad group that you specified in Microsoft Advertising will be set to 0.

• Location targets: Search Ads 360 leaves most of these settings alone. If you specify radius-based location targets and forget to to sync the changes into Search Ads 360, Search Ads 360 will remove the radius targets when it traffics your changes to Microsoft Advertising. Learn more about targeting settings in a Microsoft Advertising ad group.

• Operating system (OS) targeting: If you’ve specified OS targets in Microsoft Advertising, Search Ads 360 will remove them from the ad group when it traffics your changes to Microsoft Advertising.

For example:

1. You go to Microsoft Advertising and set radius-based location targets for an ad group and forget to sync the change into Search Ads 360.

2. In Search Ads 360 you change the ad group to inherit device targeting from the campaign.

3. When Search Ads 360 traffics the change to Microsoft Advertising, Search Ads 360 will:

   • Change the ad group to inherit device targeting from the campaign as expected.

   • Remove the radius-based location targets you set.
