Review and launch your campaigns

Updated Jul 5, 20261 min read

Manage Ads is your control room. It lists every campaign, ad set, and ad on the connected account, with status and key metrics at a glance, so you always know what is running and what is waiting for you.

Review before you launch

Mark creates everything paused, so nothing spends before you are ready. Open the campaign and work through the details:

  1. Check the budget and make sure the daily or lifetime amount is what you intended.
  2. Confirm the schedule, including start and end dates.
  3. Look at the audience the ad set targets.
  4. Preview the creative on each ad, so you know exactly what people will see.

Turn it live

When it all looks right, use the status control to turn the campaign on. You can turn on the campaign together with its ad sets and ads in one step, or activate just part of the tree if you want to launch gradually.

What happens next

Once live, Meta reviews the ads before they start delivering, usually within 24 hours. After approval, delivery begins and you will start to see spend and results appear in Insights.

A live campaign can start spending as soon as Meta approves it. Confirm the daily budget one more time before you switch anything on.
