# How to copy or move campaigns, ad groups, ads, or keywords

When you copy or move objects, you can paste them into several parent objects. For instance, you can copy several keywords and replicate them in multiple ad groups. Propagation is available for ad groups, ads, and keywords.


{% note alert %}

When moving or making a copy of an item, a new item is created. The statuses of ads and keywords, along with their accumulated statistics, are not preserved.

{% endnote %}

Monetary amounts are not recalculated. If clients use different currencies, we recommend that you check and edit bids and budgets.

Starting **July 7**, you will no longer be able to create new Text & Image ads in unified performance campaigns using Direct Commander. When you copy Text & Image ads or ad groups and campaigns containing them, they will be created as combinatorial ads. When you copy ads into an ad group that already contains more than 3 non-archived combinatorial ads, any new combinatorial ads will be created as archived, even if this causes the group to exceed the limit of 10 combinatorial ads (including archived ones).

Starting **July 14**, existing Text & Image ads will begin upgrading to combinatorial ads. Learn more about the [upgrade](https://yandex.ru/support/direct/en/unified-performance-campaign/upgrade-to-comb).
