Undo changes

You can undo most types of changes, as long as they were made in the last 30 days. Undoing reverts the change to its previous state. If there are multiple changes listed in the same row, 'Undo' will undo all of these changes together.

Changes eligible for undo have an option to undo in the 'User/Date and Time' column. If a change can’t be undone, it will say 'Changes can’t be undone' in the 'User/Date and Time' column.

Here's how to undo changes in your account history:

1. On your change history page, identify the row with the set of changes that you want to undo.
2. Click Undo in the 'User/Date and Time' column. You’ll see a message confirming that you want to undo the changes.
3. Click Undo.
4. You’ll now see 'Changes undone' in the 'User/Date and Time' column.

Add change history columns to your statistics tables

You can see a tally of the changes made to your account by adding change history columns to your 'Campaigns' and 'Ad groups' pages. To do this, follow the instructions to add or remove columns in your statistics table.

To find change history columns:

1. Sign in to Google Ads.
2. In the page menu on the left, select the type of metric you'd like to view (Campaigns, Ad groups, etc.)
3. Click the columns icon just above the statistics table.
4. Click Modify columns. You can find the 'Change history' column by scrolling through the list of column types.
