How to manage ad sets

Applies to: AdWing campaigns

Edit an ad set's budget, targeting and other settings, then push or discard your changes.

Before you start

• None

Steps

1. Go to Campaigns, click into a campaign, then open its Ad Sets.
2. Click Sync from Meta first if you want the latest data.
3. Click the edit (pencil) icon on an ad set to open the edit drawer.
4. Update any of: name, status, budget, dates, targeting, placements, optimisation, billing or bid.
5. Click Save. The drawer confirms "Changes saved locally — push to sync with Meta." and the row shows a Pending Push badge.
6. Click Push to publish, or Discard to revert.

Result: after a push, changes are live on Meta and the badge clears. After a discard, the ad set reverts to its last-synced state with nothing sent to Meta.

If it doesn't work

What you see	What it means	What to do
Your edits survive a sync	Correct and intended — sync never overwrites pending edits	No action needed
Push doesn't clear the badge	The push failed	Check the Action Log for the error, then retry
Pausing an ad set warns about learning	Meta may reset the learning phase on status changes	Expected — weigh it before pausing a performing ad set

Live-ads warning ⚠️ Pushing publishes to Meta immediately. Changes affect live ads and can spend real budget. Test with items named test_ unless you intend to change live ads.
