Change the status of Google Ads placements and negative placements
You can pause an active, biddable placement to disable bidding on it. You can later resume bidding by changing the status back to active.
You also can delete an active or paused placement or a negative placement. Deleted placements/negative placements are deleted from the ad network. They’re still visible, but you can’t change them.
