Filtering the change history report to view specific account changes

The following examples show you how to filter the change history report by keyword, bid strategy and sitelinks.

Review keyword bid changes

If your daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly task is to review the impact of keyword bid changes, you can filter the change history list to see the date and time that keyword bids were changed. You can then switch to the account or lower scope to view performance data and even compare performance before the bid was changed.

2. Navigate to a sub-manager account.

4. On the page menu, click Change history.
5. Filter the list to include only keywords:
   • Click the Account saved to button and select 'This account and all sub accounts'.
   • Click Filter in the toolbar.
   • Click Item changed.
   • Select the box next to 'Keyword'. Click Apply.
6. Add another filter to include bid changes to keywords:
   • Click Change type.
   • In the list, select the 'Bidding' box.
   • Click the arrow next to 'Bidding' and select the box next to 'Decrease' or 'Increase'.
