Below is the list of campaign details that cannot be edited:
Objective of a campaign
The Facebook page selected to publish this ad campaign
Start date of a campaign
Any time a change is made to a live campaign, a tag will be shown on top right of the campaign builder screen, "Unpublished changes".
On the Ad Manager home screen, user clicks on Edit for the published campaign they want to make changes.
The campaign builder screen opens up and the fields mentioned above can be altered.
As soon as any change is made to the campaign, an "Unpublished changes" tag on top right of the screen is shown.
Once all the changes are made to the campaign:
User can choose to either discard all the changes by clicking on the 'Back' button at top left and confirming the same on the prompt shown OR
Choose to publish the changes made, which will show a confirmation dialog.
Once they publish the campaign with the changes, it will go to Facebook for a review and publish after a successful review.
If there are errors and the campaign fails due to the edits made, campaign status will be 'Failed' with the failure reason shown next to the status.
The budget amount can be altered but changing it from Daily to Lifetime or vice versa for an active campaign is not allowed.
