Edit or remove a performance target

A performance target forecasts campaign or campaign group performance so you know whether you’re on track to meet specific measurable goals. If it looks like you're not on track, you can consider adjusting your campaign settings to improve performance.

Current performance targets can be edited at any time. Historical performance targets cannot be edited.
