How to duplicate an ad group in TikTok Ads Manager
There are two ways to duplicate an ad group. The first way is from your Campaign list:
Under the Ad group tab, hover over the ad group you want to copy and click the Duplicate icon.
Choose whether to duplicate your ad group to a new or existing campaign via the drop down options.
Specify the number of duplicates you'd like to create and customize the name of each duplicate. You can make up to 20 duplicates at a time.
If you do not wish to duplicate the ads from your ad group, select the checkbox next to Do not duplicate ads.
Select Duplicate. On the next page, confirm the campaign, ad group, and ad settings.
Note: When duplicating to a new campaign, campaign objective, and ad placement settings will be duplicated to the newly created campaign and cannot be changed.
Click Submit.
The other way by which to duplicate an ad group is within your campaign creation flow:
On the left-hand side menu, for the ad group you wish to duplicate, either click the Duplicate icon or click the â‹® icon and choose Duplicate ad group.
Specify the number of duplicates you'd like to create and customize the name of each duplicate. You can make up to 20 duplicates at a time.
If you do not wish to duplicate the ads from your ad group, select the checkbox next to Do not duplicate ads.
Select Duplicate. On the next page, confirm the campaign, ad group, and ad settings.
Note: When duplicating to a new campaign, campaign objective, and ad placement settings will be duplicated to the newly created campaign and cannot be changed.
Click Submit.
You can duplicate one ad group at a time, and make up to 20 ad group copies. The maximum number of draft ad groups in a campaign is 20. The maximum number of published ad groups in a campaign is 999.
How to duplicate manual ad groups to Smart+ campaigns in TikTok Ads Manager
Under the Ad group list, select the ad groups you want to duplicate. You can select up to 30 ad groups to be copied over to a Smart+ campaign (less if the campaign you are duplicating to already has some existing ad groups).
Note: When duplicating to a Smart+ campaign, only Smart+ or manual ad groups can be duplicated at a time. Please duplicate again if you wish to duplicate both. When duplicating to a manual campaign, only manual ad groups will be copied over.
Select Duplicate from the sidebar on the left.
On the next page, you are able to select from Existing Campaign or New Campaign. New Campaign will create a new Smart+ campaign.
Note: Only campaigns with the same campaign settings (e.g. objective, catalog vs. non-catalog) will show up in the dropdown. Only ad groups with the same objective and settings can be duplicated.
Click Duplicate to confirm.
If a Smart+ campaign is selected from the campaign dropdown, a notification will pop up to confirm that you are migrating the ad groups to a Smart+ campaign.
Note: A pop-up summary will list out the settings that were changed at the ad group level, if any, based on the target campaign.
A separate individual summary table can also be found at the top of each duplicated ad group's creation page. To view this, you can click on View Details. The duplicated ad groups and ads will be auto-saved as drafts if you exit the creation flow before publishing. The change summary and individual summary tables will not be preserved in this case.
