Editing Live Campaigns

Open All Campaigns, then use the campaign actions menu. Edit controls appear only when the server-side capability policy allows them.

Common eligibility

Budget and location edits require a campaign that is:

• Active or Paused
• Not Archived
• Not a fixed-flight YouTube campaign
• Not a shop-linked analytics-only campaign
• In a provider state that permits mutation

Your account also needs mutation access and current billing authority for spend-increasing changes.

Edit budget

Eligible campaigns can expose Edit budget. The form enforces the current campaign limits:

Campaign type	Daily minimum	Total minimum	Daily maximum	Minimum duration
Meta Smart Campaign	$10/day	$50 and enough for the selected duration	$500/day	5 days
Managed YouTube	$10/day	$75 and enough for the selected duration	$500/day	5 days

Lowering a budget does not rewrite already settled provider spend.

Edit locations

Location editing follows the common rules and is enabled only for campaigns created on or after January 6, 2026. Smart Campaign targeting uses Worldwide, Recommended markets, or Choose countries; the legacy exclude-country mode is not part of current authoring.

YouTube-only edits

Eligible non-fixed, non-shop YouTube campaigns can also expose:

• Edit end date for daily-budget campaigns
• Edit optimization goals
• Edit monetization mode when the channel is not monetized or the campaign is already using Monetization Qualification mode

Fixed-flight campaigns keep these edits locked. Self-serve Maximize Views can use the supported status queue for a pause request, but that does not make the flight editable.

Duplicate instead of edit

Duplicate campaign creates a new draft from an eligible existing campaign. Use it when the original campaign is ended, archived, fixed-flight, shop-linked, or otherwise outside the live-edit boundary. Review every copied field before submitting because platform readiness and budget rules are evaluated again.

Warning Provider mutations are asynchronous. Wait for the current update to settle before submitting another edit, especially after a budget, status, or location change.
