Meta Hacks: How to Duplicate Ads from an ASC to a Manual Campaign
Why It Matters
This straightforward duplication trick can really streamline your workflow when juggling between ASC and manual campaigns. Instead of having to start from scratch every time you want to recreate a successful ad, you can easily transfer them into CBO or ABO structures. This not only saves you a lot of time but also helps keep the momentum going. On fast-paced platforms like Meta, where quick iterations are crucial, even small efficiencies like this can lead to better testing speeds, quicker scaling, and a smoother day-to-day experience in media buying.
This will be a short blog post — sorry, SEO. But it’s a life-changing enough hack that this blog is a must. If you’ve ever tried to duplicate an ad from an ASC (Advantage+ Sales Campaign) to a manual campaign, and Meta won’t let you… try this hack.

Make sure all of the ads checked that you're trying to duplicate are in an ASC (can't mix manual and ASC ads)
When you click Duplicate, choose "Existing Campaign”
Type in exactly the name of the CBO/ABO Manual campaign (can't click on it - it's grayed out)
Tab over and you should be able to choose the ad set to duplicate them into
That’s it — that’s the hack. But it’s going to save you SO. MUCH. TIME! Happy ad buying 😁
