Summary
Quickly select and update multiple campaigns, ad sets, or ads without editing one by one. This guide shows how to use bulk selection tools, what actions you can take on groups of items, and how to manage changes efficiently.
How It Works
Bulk selection allows you to choose multiple items in your campaign table and apply actions to all of them at once. Instead of editing items one by one, you can select dozens or hundreds of entities and update their status, budgets, or other settings in a single operation.
Selections trigger a contextual action bar with available bulk operations. Changes are validated before being applied to ensure consistency and prevent errors.

FAQs
Q: Is there a limit to how many items I can select?
A: You can select all items matching your filter.

Q: Are bulk changes published immediately?
A: Yes. All changes are published immediately, including updates made to previously published items. No draft state is created during bulk actions.
Q: Can I bulk update fields with different starting values?
A: Yes. The same change applies across all selected items regardless of initial values.
