Yes. Disapproved ads are included in the copy. Only deleted and archived ads are left out. This matters for an account deactivated by Meta, where all ads are disapproved: the copy includes the campaign, ad sets, and ads. It applies when you duplicate a campaign within the same account or to another one.

Path: Meta Ads → Bulk edits → select the campaign → Duplicate → turn on Duplicate to another ad account → choose the destination account and, in its settings, the Page, Instagram account, and pixel.

Good to know:

  • The copies go through Meta's review again in the destination account, like any new ad. If the ad itself violates a policy, it may be disapproved there too. In that case, adjust the creative or the text.
  • Website conversion campaigns need a pixel in the destination account. Without one, the copy fails with that reason. Create a pixel in the destination account, or share one with it, and duplicate again.
  • The result appears on a card in the corner of the screen: Completed, Completed with warnings (with the reason below), or Duplication failed.
