Quick Answer
How do you edit or disable a Facebook Ad Launcher campaign?
Open the Facebook Ad Launcher dashboard and select the campaign you want to manage. Use Edit to change its settings, or use the campaign toggle to disable it and pause the ads under that campaign.
Managing Campaign Changes Without Losing Control
You may need to adjust a campaign after it is already running, whether you want to change campaign settings or stop ad delivery.
Editing lets you update an existing campaign without rebuilding it from scratch, while disabling lets you pause the campaign without deleting it.
These controls help you manage campaign activity and spending from the Facebook Ad Launcher dashboard.
