In this chapter, you'll learn about the ad management options available to you in Ads Manager.

Organise your campaigns, ad sets and ads

As you create more ads in Ads Manager, you can easily search and filter your ads to retrieve information about a specific ad. (For example, you want to share the results of a past campaign with an agency you're working with.) In Ads Manager, you can search for your ads individually, apply filters to ads or view your ads on the dates when they run.

• Search: Click Search to find your ads based on specific conditions, such as delivery, impressions or reach. You can also click the next to Search to find ads based on their specific name or their specific ad ID.
• Filters: Click Filters to find ads based on specific results. You can choose from preset filters, such as filters for placement, objective or optimisation goals, or create a custom filter. When you create a custom filter, you can save it for later use in Ads Manager. Learn more about using filters in Ads Manager.
• Date range: You can adjust the date range in Ads Manager to only show ads within a specific time frame. By default, this option is set to Lifetime, but you can click it to choose a preset date range or create your own custom date range. You can also compare ad performance across two different date ranges.

Take action on your ads

In the Campaigns, Ad sets and Ads tabs, you'll find different options for creating and managing your ads.

• Create Campaign / create ad set / create ad: Click this button to create a new campaign, ad set or ads. If you create a new ad set or ads, you'll need to attach it to a new or existing campaign or ad set respectively. Learn more about creating campaigns, ad sets or ads in Ads Manager.
• Edit: If you want to update your ads after you've published them, you can edit them. When you edit your ads, you can update details such as your targeting, placements or creative. Learn more about editing your campaigns, ad sets and ads in Ads Manager.

• Create Rule: You can create automated rules that automatically update or notify you of changes to your campaigns, ad sets or ads. Rather than checking the performance of your campaigns, ad sets or ads daily, automated rules can run these checks for you and perform the actions that you'd normally do manually. Learn more about automated rules.
• Preview (ads tab only): If you want to see what your ad looks like across different placements (for example, News Feed), you can preview the ad. You can also share your preview or see how the ad looks with comments and reactions. Learn more about previewing your ads.
