Draft Mode automatically saves drafts of campaigns, ad groups, and ads during campaign setup. This feature is available for both Auction and Reservation campaigns, including RnF, Pulse, and Topview. 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.
