1. Click the “Pause” button if you would like to manually stop the campaigns from running with the option to restart them later.
2. Click the “Unpause” button if you would like to enable selected campaigns that have been paused.
3. Click the “Delete” button if you would like to stop the campaign from running and do not intend to restart it later or display the associated ads in the future.
