When you move over to the new Search Ads 360, your active, paused rules and scheduled edits will be migrated from the previous Search Ads 360. However, if there are any errors during migration, the rules will need to be edited and re-saved.
Before you begin
Rules have started to be migrated over to the new Search Ads 360 in phases and we have successfully migrated the majority of them. Due to changes in functionality, a small portion of active and paused rules won’t be able to be migrated to the new experience. This article will guide you through the steps to resolve these errors to complete a successful migration.
You can see the status of your rules migration in the experience hub on the 'What’s available' page in the new Search Ads 360.
Step-by-step resolution of rules errors
You will get a notification in both the new and previous Search Ads 360 informing you of rules that will be migrating to the new experience and relevant errors to fix. To resolve the rules errors, follow these steps:
- Sign in to your new Search Ads 360.
- You will see a notification about migrated rules and recommended resolutions. Optional: In the previous Search Ads 360, open the specific rule page to gather more information on the rule’s conditions, schedules and campaigns.
- Additional context on the error is provided in the warning message.
- In the new Search Ads 360, open the specific rule page and edit according to the resolution table below.
- Once the error has been resolved, the migration status will change from 'migrated with errors' to 'completed'.
- In the new Search Ads 360, there will be additional information on the number of rules and scheduled edits that were successfully migrated. This number will update as errors are resolved.
