You can quickly reuse your existing Snapchat campaigns, ad sets, and ads by cloning them. The clone is created as a draft, which you can edit as needed and publish to take it into use.

When you clone a campaign or ad set, the copy also contains all its child items. For example, if you clone an ad set, all the original ad set's ads are also included in the new ad set.

You can clone multiple campaigns, ad sets, or ads at the same time. In addition, you can clone ad sets or ads from several campaigns to several other campaigns. For example, you could pick the five best-performing ad sets or ads from your latest campaigns, and clone all of them to your upcoming campaigns.

Limitations

• You can only clone campaigns, ad sets, and ads within one ad account.
• You can clone all types of ads, even though Smartly.io doesn't support creating and editing of AR Lenses and Filters. When cloning AR Lenses or Filters, you cannot modify the media of the ad.
