Google Ads adds shortcut button to Change history

Advertisers digging through Google Ads change history often lose time hopping between reports, campaigns, and ad groups. A new “Go to…” button cuts out those extra clicks — a small UI tweak that can save meaningful time during audits and troubleshooting.

What’s new. Google has added a “Go to…” dropdown in the Change history report. Advertisers can now jump directly from a logged change to the relevant campaign or ad group. The feature is especially useful 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, noted that 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: diagnosing what changed and where. The new “Go to…” button lets them jump directly from a change log to the affected campaign or ad group, saving time during audits, troubleshooting, and bulk-edit reviews. For teams managing large accounts or using scripts and Google Ads Editor, those saved clicks add up quickly.

Bottom line. It’s not flashy, but for advertisers who live in Change history, this new shortcut could be a real time saver.
