Ad settings for Microsoft Advertising


Any expanded text ads in the source ad group are copied into the destination as expanded text ads.

 

The copy operation doesn't copy standard text ads because Microsoft Advertising ended support for creating and editing standard text ads on July 31, 2017.

Microsoft Advertising will continue to serve standard text ads and Search Ads 360 will continue to report metrics for your standard text ads.
