FAQ

Why do I see "No draft saved" when creating a campaign?

Draft errors on TikTok Ads Manager can occur for different reasons, such as reaching the maximum draft limit or experiencing internet errors. It's important to understand that draft errors will not affect your ability to publish a campaign, but your current campaign progress may not be saved as a draft.

If the error is related to reaching the maximum draft limit, however you want to save new drafts, simply navigate to the campaign list and delete any unnecessary drafts.
