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