Managing a campaign
Pausing, resuming, ending, copying and deleting a campaign, and what you can change after launch.
Updated October 18, 20262 min read
The control buttons are in the header of the campaign card, and “Duplicate” and “Delete” are in the “⋯” menu next to them.
Pausing and resuming
“Pause” stops the ads of an active campaign, and no more money is charged for it. “Resume” starts it again. Before resuming, the dashboard checks the same things as before the first launch: channels, budget, money in the wallet and plan limits.
Ending
“Finish” stops the campaign for good, and it cannot be resumed afterwards. If you plan to run it again, make a copy first. A campaign with an end date ends by itself during the night after that date, and you get a notification.
Copying
“Duplicate” creates a draft named “… (copy)”. Settings, channels, interests, cities and creatives are copied. Statistics, history and the moderation reason are not.
Deleting
An active campaign cannot be deleted: pause or end it first. A campaign in “Processing” can be deleted after a few minutes. Deleting cannot be undone.
Changes after launch
On the “Creatives”, “Audience” and “Settings” tabs you can change everything, including the budget, channels and link. After you edit something, an “Unsaved changes” bar appears at the bottom: save or discard the changes. A new monthly budget amount applies from the next day.
Only one setting is changed by the operator alone: “Keep running on a negative balance”. To have it switched on, write to support.
