Actions become unavailable on Display Ads (YDN)

Document Number: APIE-FY21-2131

Dear customers,

Thank you for using Yahoo! JAPAN Ads.

All actions for YDN campaigns will become unavailable as previously
announced in "Display Ads (YDN) sunset schedule (Document Number: APIE-
FY20-2176)." Please see the following details.

Once again, thank you for using Yahoo! JAPAN Ads.


1. Product:
　Yahoo! JAPAN Ads Display Ads (YDN)

2. Schedule:
　May 13, 2021 (Thu)
　*Schedule may change without prior notice.

3. Overview:
　We will implement the following changes prior to the sunset of YDN service.

　・Taking actions for YDN campaigns (including ad groups, ads, and targeting)
　will become unavailable.
　*When you manually convert a campaign to a Display Ads (Auction) format,
　you can continue to use it as an "Auction" element.

　・Taking actions in the YDN view (previous platform) except for the
　performance report will become unavailable.
　Editing and deleting all components and settings such as campaigns, ads
　and images will become unavailable on the old view.

　Also check the following schedule after these actions become unavailable:
　[Schedule]
　　June 23, 2021 (Wed)
　　-Delete YDN campaigns that are not yet converted to Display Ads
　　(Auction) format
　　-YDN view (old view) on the Campaign Management Tool sunset

4. Automatic converting to Display Ads (Auction) format:
　If there are still unconverted YDN campaigns, the system will convert
　to the campaigns in Display Ads (Auction) format automatically.
　
　The start time of automatic converting varies depending on the ad
　delivery status of the campaigns in YDN format under the account.
　Please follow the schedule in details.

　(1)Accounts that have no impressions on ads of YDN campaigns between
　　January 1 and March 31, 2021
　　> Automatic converting YDN campaigns has completed.
　　　For other accounts that have not been completed, campaigns will be
　　　converted automatically at the same time as (2).
　　　
　(2)Accounts that have some impressions on ads of YDN campaigns
　　between April 1 and May 7, 2021
　　> Convert campaigns automatically between May 18 and 22, 2021

　(3)All other accounts
　　> Convert campaigns automatically between May 23 and 31, 2021

　Campaigns with the following ad distribution type will be subject for
　the automatic converting.
　・Targeting
　・Infeed ads
　・Dynamic Ads for Display
　・Video Ads
　・PC Brand Panel (Static image)
　・PC Brand Panel (Video)
　・PC Brand Panel (Dynamic Ads for Display)

　Campaigns with other ad distribution types will be deleted, including
　the ad groups and ads, when YDN service ends.

　We are not responsible for the deletion and its effect due to the end
　of provision.
　
5. Precaution:
　Some YDN settings can't be inherited because of the structure
　differences between YDN and Display Ads (Auction).
　The process of converting campaigns automatically may cause unintended
　ad delivery.
　
　Items that cannot be inherited from the YDN campaign will be changed
　to our recommended settings when converting to the campaign of Display
　Ads (Auction).
　We are not responsible for the effects of changing the settings.
　
　To avoid confusions, we recommend you to convert YDN campaigns to
　Display Ads (Auction) in advance on your end.
　
　Note that you don't need to resubmit your ads to review when you
　convert YDN campaigns if those YDN ads have been reviewed and are
　active.

　More details of automatic converting and restrictions are described
　on the following document (PDF).　
　YDN service close
　
6. Remarks:
　All available versions of Yahoo! JAPAN Ads Display Ads API provide
　"CampaignMigrationService" that converts YDN campaigns to Display Ads
　(Auction) campaigns in bulk.
　
　You can use the service when converting your campaigns in bulk by API.
