Learn about other actions you can specify in a bulksheet, such as remove and edit.

Soon, you’ll no longer be able to create or edit expanded text ads in your Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Yahoo! Japan Ads campaigns. The engines will continue to serve expanded text ads, and you'll still see reports on their performance going forward.

We strongly encourage you to transition to responsive search ads in your campaigns and ad builder and inventory management templates.

Duplicate ads in a Microsoft Advertising account

If you create or upload identical ads in a Microsoft Advertising ad group, Search Ads 360 will display and traffic both ads. In Microsoft Advertising, the identical ads are merged into one ad. The next time a sync occurs, the duplicate ad is removed, leaving only one of the ads in Search Ads 360.
