š Whatās New?
Weāve improved validation and error handling for
Google and LinkedIn campaigns
in Ad Manager to make campaign publishing more reliable and easier to troubleshoot.- Multiple validation issues are now surfaced together, instead of appearing one at a time.
- Error messages provide clearer context about what needs to be fixed and where.
- Clicking an error takes users directly to the relevant section or field.
- Error highlighting has been improved across campaigns containing multiple ads or creatives.
- Resolved validation errors are refreshed correctly when campaigns are updated or republished.
- Publishing status and background-processing messaging have been improved to provide clearer feedback during campaign creation.
Google-specific improvements
- Added a pre-publish validation flow covering campaign fields, advertising requirements, and Google platform requirements.
- Improved validation for Demand Gen campaigns, including required images, logos, videos, headlines, descriptions, long headlines, and carousel assets.
- Improved messaging for missing Website URLs and duplicate creative content.
LinkedIn-specific improvements
- Improved validation across LinkedIn carousel cards, including required headlines and URLs.
- Errors now provide better context about the specific carousel card requiring attention.
š· How It Works:
- Configure the campaign, ad groups/ad sets, and ads as usual.
- Click Publish.

- Ad Manager checks supported campaign and creative requirements before publishing.
- If issues are detected, users see a Fix errors before publishingprompt.

- Open the error list to view all identified issues together.

- Click an error to navigate directly to the affected field or section.
- Fix the issues and publish the campaign again.
For
Google campaigns
, an additional validation flow checks campaign fields, advertising requirements, and platform requirements before submission.For
LinkedIn campaigns
, the improved experience focuses on UI validation and clearer identification of issues across creatives and carousel cards.ā Why It Matters:
Previously, some validation issues appeared only after a publishing attempt or surfaced one at a time, resulting in repeated fix-and-retry cycles.
These improvements help users:
- Identify more issues before publishing.
- Resolve multiple errors in a single pass.
- Quickly understand where an issue exists.
- Reduce failed publishing attempts.
- Get a more consistent campaign creation experience across Meta, Google, and LinkedIn.
š Notes:
- Google campaigns now use the expanded pre-publish validation flow.
- LinkedIn continues to use its existing publishing flow, with improvements focused on UI validation and error handling.
- Additional platform-level errors or policy rejections may still be returned by Google or LinkedIn after submission.
