Stop a sync

Beginning June 29, 2020, customers who have previously turned on scheduled sync or who choose to turn on scheduled sync will no longer be able to turn off scheduled sync. Likewise, customers who have previously activated the conversion API will no longer be able to deactivate it.

Beginning February 1, 2021, Search Ads 360 will automatically turn on scheduled sync and activate the conversion API for all customers who haven't already turned on scheduled sync or who haven't already activated the conversion API.

After you start a sync in Search Ads 360, the Start sync button will change to Stop sync. You can stop an in-progress synchronization when:

• Sync is still in the process of reading data from the engine and Search Ads 360 for comparison.

The Stop sync button will be deactivated, and you won’t be able to stop a sync, when:

• Sync has already started to apply updates to Search Ads 360.

When you stop a sync:

• Sync does its best to ensure that no partial updates are applied to Search Ads 360 data. If there is a partial update, run another sync to ensure the Search Ads 360 account matches the engine.
