## Available Actions
### 1. Start
The **Start** option activates a paused campaign.
Use this when:
* You want to resume traffic.
* The campaign was previously paused.
* You have sufficient balance to run it.
Once started, the campaign will begin serving ads according to its settings.

### 2. Edit
The **Edit** option allows you to modify campaign settings.
You can update:
* Targeting settings
* Budget parameters
* Creatives
* Other configuration options
After saving changes, the updated settings will apply to the campaign.

### 3. Clone
The **Clone** option creates a copy of an existing campaign.
This is useful when:
* You want to test a variation.
* You need a similar campaign with minor changes.
* You want to reuse existing settings instead of creating a new campaign from scratch.
The cloned campaign can be edited independently.

### 4. Archive
The **Archive** option removes the campaign from active view without permanently deleting it.
Use this when:
* The campaign is no longer needed.
* You want to keep historical data.
* You want to clean up your campaign list.
Archived campaigns are stored for reference and reporting purposes.

### 5. Pause
The **Pause** option temporarily stops your campaign from participating in ad distribution without deleting it.
When you pause a campaign:
* The campaign stops receiving new impressions within approximately **one hour**.
* Your **daily budget is no longer spent** while the campaign is paused.
* All campaign settings, statistics, and historical data are preserved.
* You can resume the campaign at any time by clicking **Start**.

* **Starting** –The campaign has been activated and is in the process of launching.

* **Running**– The campaign is currently delivering impressions and spending budget.
* **Paused** – Temporarily stopped.
