- Support for third-party measurement settings was originally released in version 2.6 for video campaigns only. It is now extended to Performance Max and Demand Gen campaigns

Strict age and gender targeting:
- This option is available for ad groups under Demand Gen campaigns. Generally, when "Optimized Targeting" is turned on, Ads may be served that don't match campaign targeting criteria in order to expand the reach to users Google believes are sufficiently similar to the target audience.

Google Ads Editor version 2.6 doesn’t allow you to transition from Reserve CPM to Target CPM.

One of the possible reasons include “System error,” which may happen when an ad group is copy-pasted in the front-end and issues occur where it could not be copy-pasted properly. Another possible reason is when certain ad group level criteria are deprecated and automatically removed from ad groups. This feature also allows you to review and possibly enable paused ad groups in bulk when needed.

Inline audiences:
- Editor now supports inline audiences on asset groups and ad groups. Instead of attaching a shared named audience from the library, it is now possible to leverage demographic and audience signals directly on the ad or asset group.

- Where previously Target CPA strategy was used, you can use Maximize conversions with target CPA bid instead. You can also use Maximize conversion value with target ROAS bidding instead of Target ROAS strategy.
These situations include the following:
- Creating a new search campaign: Google Ads Editor previously defaulted to Target CPA bidding under certain circumstances, and now defaults to Maximize conversions strategy.

- For example, if you're looking for campaigns or ad groups on “dog accessories” and start typing “dog acc," you'll get search results like “dog accessories for corgis.” Previously, when searching for “dog acc,” you would have seen potentially unrelated campaigns, like “dog bed” or “dog apparel."

Checkboxes in accounts manager:
- Accounts manager shows checkboxes next to accounts, to make it more explicit that multiple accounts can be selected and opened together.
