Auto-applied ad suggestion column

Indicates whether an expanded text ad was automatically created by Google Ads. Yes is displayed for suggested ads. No is displayed for ads that were manually created. 

Ad suggestions will automatically apply 14 days after they're created, or you can manually apply them in Google Ads. Suggested ads that are manually applied become regular text ads. That is, the Auto-applied ad suggestion column displays No for manually applied ads.

You can filter the reporting table to display or exclude only suggested ads by using the Auto-applied ad suggestion attribute.
