Google Ads adds shortcut button to Change history

Tired of wasting time digging through Google Ads change history, jumping between reports, campaigns, and ad groups? A new “Go to…” button removes those extra clicks. It’s a small user interface change that saves time during audits and troubleshooting.

What’s new. Google added a “Go to…” dropdown in the Change history report. You can jump straight from a logged change to the relevant campaign or ad group. This is especially helpful when reviewing bulk edits, script-driven changes, or updates made in Google Ads Editor.

How it works:

  • Select one or more changes in the Change history report.
  • Use the “Go to…” dropdown to navigate straight to the affected entity.
  • No more manual searching through account structure to find what changed.

What they’re saying. The update was first flagged by PPC Specialist Arpan Banerjee on LinkedIn.

  • Hana Kobzová, founder of on PPC News Feed, said the feature “eliminates extra steps in troubleshooting and speeds up navigation, especially when reviewing bulk edits or changes made through scripts or the Google Ads Editor.”

Why we care. This update removes friction from one of the most time-consuming parts of account management: figuring out what changed and where. The new “Go to…” button lets you jump straight from the change log to the affected campaign or ad group. That saves time during audits, troubleshooting, and bulk-edit reviews. For teams managing large accounts or relying on scripts and Google Ads Editor, those saved clicks add up fast.

Bottom line. It’s not flashy, but for advertisers who live in Change history, this shortcut can save you real time.
