What’s new

The following features are new or recently changed.

Date Feature Description For More Information
23 August 2023 Placements The new placement forecast tool shows the forecasted number of impressions, spend, and optimum maximum bid for a particular targeting strategy. Forecasting is calculated based on the overall inventory that is available with the placement and the unique users that are available. See “View the Placement Forecast Report.”
You can now quickly associate multiple ads with placements by downloading an spreadsheet file for a campaign or for one or more placements, editing the file to include values in the new “Attached Ad ID” column, and then uploading the edited file. Use the column to add ads to the placement but not remove them.

To download a list of ad names and associated Ad IDs, go to the Ads view, create a custom view that includes the ID metric, and then export the data.		 See “Download Placement Settings in a Spreadsheet,” “Placement Setting Columns in Downloaded/Uploaded Spreadsheets,” and “Upload Placement Settings in a Spreadsheet.”

See also “Export Data from a Campaign Management View.”
Custom Reports Custom reports now have an End Date, which can be up to four months away. For existing reports, the expiration date is 24 September 2023.

Before a report expires, all specified email recipients receive an email alert seven days and one day before the expiration date. To keep the report longer, change the expiration date in the report settings.		 See “Edit a Custom Report” and “Custom Report Settings.”
19 July 2023 Inventory You can now run publisher-managed ads for programmatic guaranteed deals with Google Authorized Buyers SSP.
