We've made a number of improvements to OTTO PPC and Campaign Hub as part of the Release 2026-08-26 update. These changes are designed to streamline your workflow, improve accuracy, and fix issues that were getting in the way of managing your paid campaigns effectively.

## **✨ What's New**

The following improvements are now live across OTTO PPC and Campaign Hub:

- **Cleaner search flow:** The OTTO PPC search flow now concludes with a build confirmation step, giving you a clearer signal that your setup is complete.
- **Per-campaign performance target overrides:** You can now set individual performance targets per campaign directly in Campaign Efficiency, giving you more granular control over your goals.
- **Live character limit enforcement in Edit Ad:** When editing your ad display path, the character limit is now enforced as you type rather than only flagging an error when you try to save — preventing unexpected rejections mid-flow.
- **Stable campaign row positioning:** Changing a campaign's status in Campaign Hub no longer causes the row to jump to a different position in the table, so you always know where to find it after making a change.
- **Accurate Negative Keywords counts:** The campaign count shown on the Negative Keywords page is now consistent across all views, and keyword term abbreviations in the Negative Keywords table are displayed uniformly.
- **Cleaner empty states:** Pages including Reports, Campaign Hub, Campaign Performance, Campaign Audit, and Negative Keywords no longer display stale data when no account is connected — you'll see an accurate empty state instead.
- **Improved badge accuracy:** A status badge no longer appears in the budget and spend area when there is no data to support the status.
- **Approve Ads button visibility:** The per-ad Approve button in Approve Ads now renders fully within the viewport so it's always accessible and clickable.
- **Faster Launch Wizard validation:** Step 1 of the Launch Wizard now validates all required fields at the same time when you press Continue, rather than surfacing errors one at a time, so you can complete setup more efficiently.

## **🛠️ How to Use It**

1. Navigate to **OTTO PPC** from your dashboard.
2. Use the Launch Wizard to set up or review a campaign — all field errors on Step 1 will now surface together when you press Continue.
3. To set a performance target for a specific campaign, go to **Campaign Efficiency** and use the new per-campaign override option.
4. In **Campaign Hub**, update campaign statuses as needed — rows will remain in place after any status change.
5. Review your **Negative Keywords** table and budget and spend area for updated, consistent data displays.

## **📋 What to Expect**

These are refinements to existing features. No new setup is required — all improvements are applied automatically across your account.
