Copy or delete an ad campaign
You can make a copy of an existing campaign created in Legacy Hootsuite Ads to make campaign setup faster, but you cannot copy a campaign imported from Facebook. You can also copy assets at the adset and ad level.
When you copy an existing campaign, Legacy Hootsuite Ads creates a new campaign with all the same attributes of the original campaign, including target audience and bidding. You can change any parameters in the new campaign before you publish it.
Copy a campaign
- On the Legacy Hootsuite Ads home page, select Your campaigns.
- Select Select a campaign, and then select the campaign you want to copy from the list.
- In your campaign’s Dashboard tab, scroll down to the Campaign Details box , and then select Copy Campaign.
- Select Copy.
Tip: To copy a campaign that is pending or in draft status, select the campaign from the list, and copy the last 7 digits of the URL (this is the campaign ID). Then enter this URL: https://ads.hootsuite.com/campaign/new?copy=******* into your browser with the 7 digits in place of the ******* to create a copy of the campaign.
Delete a campaign
Important:When you delete a campaign in Legacy Hootsuite Ads, the campaign is also deleted in Facebook. Deleted campaigns cannot be restored.
- On the Legacy Hootsuite Ads home page, select Your campaigns.
- Select Select a campaign, and then select Go to campaigns list from the list or go straight to your All campaigns page.
- Select the box beside the campaign(s) you want to delete, and then
select Delete.
