How To Clone Campaigns, Ad Groups & Ads

Use Cloning to replicate your ads, campaigns and ad groups across multiple locations in the Yahoo Native UI, with minimal effort and a few simple mouse or keyboard clicks.

Cloning lets you take advantage of your most successful ad assets, ad groups and campaigns by enabling you to create similar ones for use with different settings.

Once you select the ad groups that you wish to clone, for example, you can simply select the Clone option in the Native Actions dropdown menu.
