Last updated: July 2024

Draft Mode automatically saves drafts of campaigns, ad groups, and ads during campaign setup. Learn more about how to set up a campaign.

Before you begin

There are limitations to how many drafts your account can have at once time:

  • Campaigns can have a maximum of 100 campaign drafts per ad account.

  • Each drafted campaign can only have 1 ad group draft.

  • Each published campaign can have a maximum of 20 ad group drafts.

  • Each drafted ad group can have a maximum of 50 ad drafts.

  • Each published ad group can have a maximum of 50 ad drafts.

Note: Reaching the maximum draft limit can cause draft errors, such as no draft being saved when you create a campaign. Simply navigate to the campaign list and delete drafts.
