Multi-select navigation across the Ads hierarchy

Compare multiple accounts, campaigns or ad sets side by side using the multi-level selection in the Ads dashboard.

Goal

Compare multiple accounts, campaigns or ad sets side by side without traversing each level one by one.

Prerequisites

  • At least one ad source connected (Meta, Google or TikTok)
  • Ads dashboard access (Owner / Admin / Media Buyer role)

Step 1: Check rows to compare

  1. Go to /app/ads
  2. At every level (sources, accounts, campaigns, ad sets, ads) a checkbox is rendered on the left of each row
  3. Check the rows you want to explore together (e.g. 2 Meta campaigns + 1 Google campaign)

The selection is persisted in the URL: refresh, share the link or use the back button without losing your work.

Step 2: Drill down to the child level

  1. A floating action bar appears at the bottom of the screen as soon as at least one row is selected
  2. Click View next level (N) ->
  3. The dashboard now shows only the ad sets / ads that belong to your selection

Step 3: Reading the breadcrumb

The breadcrumb at the top reflects your path and is fully derived from the URL: sharing the link with a teammate shows them the exact same view.

Common issues

  • No rows after drilling: the children most likely had no spend over the selected period. Widen the date range.
  • The floating bar does not appear: make sure you are on a level that has a child level (the "ads" level is terminal).
  • A feature is missing: use "Ideas & Roadmap" in Settings to submit it.
  • You see a bug: report it via the support menu at the top right.
