Pausing & Archiving Campaigns

If you choose not to use the Simple Settings section on your campaign’s configuration page to specify a daily start and end time, you can either pause or archive the campaign to keep it from serving ads. You should pause the campaign if you need regular access to it via the dashboard and still want its data included in analytics reports. If you don’t want to see the campaign displayed in lists on the dashboard or reflected in analytics reports, you should archive it.
