Copy campaigns
If you work with the same advertisers every month and have to regularly create ad campaigns with a similar set of banners and similar settings, use the campaign copy feature.
Note
You can't copy external monetizers' campaigns.
To copy an ad campaign:
-
Click
→ Copy next to the campaign in the list of campaigns or on the campaign page next to its name.What it looks like
-
In the window that opens, select the copy options:
-
Copy with content / Copy without content: Select Copy with content to copy all nested items (for a supercampaign, these can be flights and banners). Copy without content indicates that the copy won't include any nested items.
-
Preserve marking settings: Select this option to copy the item's labeling settings:
-
For supercampaigns and flights, this includes the contract and advertiser information.
-
For banners, this is a third-party token, ad label, banner menu, and creative media data.
For the newly created copy, data transfer to the Russian state register (ERIR) is disabled. To transfer data for this item, select Marking procedure → Submit data to state register in the settings of a newly created copy of the item.
Warning
If data transfer to the Russian state register (ERIR) was enabled for the copied banner and the creative's token came from the Yandex Advertising Data Operator, the creative will get a new token when you copy the labeling settings.
-
-
Number of copies: Specify how many copies you need. You can create up to 10 copies of a single item.
-
Copy name: Give the campaign copy a name (optional). If you leave this field empty, the copy will have the same name as the original, with “copy” added at the end.
-
Status: Select a status for the campaign copy. The default status is Paused.
-
The spin-off period: Specify the start and end dates for the campaign's ad running period. The default start date is the current date. If your supercampaign contains flights with an evenly spread ad running speed, be sure to specify an end date.

-
When copying flights, you can choose a destination for the copy. By default, it's created within the current item.
-
Check the settings and click Continue.
Once you start the copying process, you'll see the progress status at the top of the page:
- Blue: In progress.
- Green: Completed successfully.
- Red or yellow: Errors.

Alert
If an error occurs during the copying process, no copies are created.
A new campaign will be created based on the selected one with the same general settings, placements, restrictions, and targeting settings. The start date for the newly created item matches the copying date. Statistics aren't copied.
If the item you're copying has an end date, the new item will keep the same run period. For example, if you copy a supercampaign set to run for 7 days, the new one's end date will be 7 days from the copy date.
The new campaign is assigned the Paused status. All of its nested items inherit their status from the original items.
