Copying supercampaigns, flights, and banners

1. You can now copy an item on its page or from the general list. To do this, find the desired item and click  → Copy.

2. To flexibly configure the copying settings, fill out the form:

   • 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 labeling parameters configured for the item:

     • For supercampaigns and flights, this includes the contract and advertiser information.

     • For banners, this is the third-party token, ad label, banner menu, and creative media data.

     Data transfer to the Russian state register (ERIR) is disabled for the newly created copy. To start sending this data, select Marking procedure → Submit data to state register in the parameters of the newly created item after copying is complete.

     Warning

     If data transfer to the Russian state register (ERIR) was enabled for the copied banner and the creative obtained a token from the Yandex Advertising Data Operator, a new token will be assigned to the creative when copying the labeling settings.

   • Number of copies: Specify how many copies you need. You can create up to 10 copies of a single item.

   What it looks like

   

3. When copying flights and banners, you can choose a destination for the copy. By default, it's created within the current item.

4. 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.
   What it looks like

   

   Alert

   If an error occurs during the copying process, no copies are created.

5. The start date for the newly created item matches the copying date.

   If an item has an end date, its copies will have the same running period as the copied item. For example, if you copy a supercampaign that was launched for a period of seven days, the end date of the new supercampaign is set to seven days after the copying date.

6. If you copied a supercampaign or flight, the new item gets the paused status. All its nested items inherit their status from the original items.
