   4. Navigate to a campaign or ad group.

   6. You don't need to segment by keywords, but it is recommended that you add the campaign and ad group segments.

2. Select up to 100 queries you want to match with new keywords or block with new negative keywords.

3. Click one of the following buttons:

Empty columns

Note that columns in the editor may be empty under the following conditions:

• If you don't select a search query, the editor will be completely empty.

• If you don't segment the search terms report by campaign and ad group, the Campaign and Ad group columns in the editor will be empty, unless you're scoped to a specific campaign or ad group.

Be sure to fill in any columns that are empty before you click Save.
