Soon, you’ll no longer be able to create or edit expanded text ads in your Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Yahoo! Japan Ads campaigns. The engines will continue to serve expanded text ads, and you'll still see reports on their performance going forward.
We strongly encourage you to transition to responsive search ads in your campaigns and ad builder and inventory management templates.
