Pausing, Resuming & Archiving Campaigns

Pausing a campaign

Pause a campaign to temporarily stop ad delivery without losing your setup or accumulated performance data.

From the Campaigns list:

  1. Find the campaign row.

  2. Click the active/pause toggle in the Status column.

From the campaign detail page:

  1. Open the campaign.

  2. Click Pause in the action bar at the top.

The campaign status changes to Paused. Ad delivery stops within minutes on the platform side.

When to pause: Budget constraints, role filled, content refresh needed, or during sensitive news events.

Resuming a paused campaign

  1. Find the paused campaign in the list.

  2. Click the toggle again, or open the campaign and click Resume.

No redeployment is needed. The campaign resumes with its existing settings.

Note: If the campaign end date has passed, you must edit the campaign and set a new end date before resuming.

Editing a live campaign

You can update a running campaign (budget, copy, or assets) at any time:

  1. Open the campaign detail page.

  2. Click Edit campaign.

  3. Navigate through the wizard steps to make changes.

  4. On the Review step, click Activate Now to push the updates live.

Changes go live after the platform processes the update (typically within a few minutes for Meta).

Archiving a campaign

Archiving hides a campaign from the default list view while preserving all historical data and reports.

  1. Open the campaign detail page.

  2. Click ⋯ → Archive campaign.

  3. Confirm.

To view archived campaigns: In the Campaigns list, open the status filter and select Archived.

To unarchive: Open an archived campaign and click ⋯ → Unarchive.

Deleting a campaign

Campaigns cannot be deleted they can only be archived. This ensures your historical reporting data is never lost.

If you need a campaign removed for compliance reasons, contact your Wonderkind administrator.
