Hi Bill Haflidson,

Thank you for using our Microsoft Advertising Community Forum! My name is Shaynne, and I will be assisting you with this query.

I understand how important it is to have a control over the schedule of your ads and only display it to your target audience on your preferred date. Microsoft Advertising runs your ads indefinitely unless you set end dates for specific ad groups. You can see and change your ad group’s end date by going to the ad group’s Settings and clicking Schedule under the Advanced settings section. When you select an end date, your ad will run until 11:59 PM on that date, based on the time zone that the account is set in.

You can set your ads to end by a certain date, which is particularly convenient when running ads for a special occasion, like a holiday sale.

To change your end dates

From the collapsible menu on the left, select All campaigns > Ad groups > Ad groups.

If you're using the new Microsoft Advertising navigation, from the navigation menu on the left, hover over Campaigns and select Ad groups > Ad groups.

Select Columns> Modify columns and ensure all of the columns you want to see are checked. Then select Apply.
Hover over the field you want to edit and select the pencil icon.
After you are done making your changes, select Save.

You can always edit an ad group's end date — before or after it passes — to make it stop running sooner or to make it start running again.

I hope the information provided helped you in addressing your concern. If you have any questions or help needed, you are more than welcome to reply on this message.

This is still not very clear. Please could you explain again how to change the end date.

Answer 3

This is from the Bot. Still not a very good explanation.

To change the end date of a campaign, go to the ad group settings and click Schedule under the Advanced settings section. You can set the end date to automatically stop running your ads at 11:59 PM on that date, based on the account's time zone. You can always edit an ad group's end date to make it stop running sooner or to make it start running again. If you're using the new Microsoft Advertising navigation, hover over Campaigns and select Change history to review changes made to a specific campaign.

Hi Bill Haflidson,

Thank you for your response. I understand you require clarification on changing the end date of your ads. Please note that both the start and end dates can be set and adjusted at the ad group level.

I hope that these step-by-step instructions will provide the clarity needed to make the desired changes.

From the collapsible menu on the left, select All campaigns > Ad groups (If you're usingthe new Microsoft Advertising navigation, from the navigation menu on the left, select Campaigns.).
SelectColumns > Modify columnsand ensure all of the columns you want to see are checked.
After clicking on Modify columns, you will be provided the option to select columns that you desire. In this case, we will add the end date column as shown below. After adding the end date, select Apply.
Hover over the field you want to edit and select the pencil icon
After you are done making your changes, select Save.

Alternatively, you may go directly to your ad group settings and update your ad schedule's end date.

From the collapsible menu on the left, select All campaigns > Ad groups (If you're usingthe new Microsoft Advertising navigation, from the navigation menu on the left, select Campaigns.).
Click the specific ad group you want to edit and click on Settings.

I have sent you a direct message as well if in case you require any further assistance from me. Please feel free to respond.
