The My Change History tool displays changes you've made to your account dating back to January 1, 2006. With easy access to your account history, you can make informed decisions about managing your account for maximum performance.

Here's how to access the My Change History tool:

1. Go directly to the My Change History tool by visiting adwords.google.com/select/ViewExternalAllChangeHistory . You might be asked to sign in.

2. Select filter settings. You can filter the results in the My Change History tool in four ways:

   • Date range: Use the drop-down menus in the Within date range section to view changes for a particular time period. You can see changes dating back to January 1, 2006.

   • Affecting level: Enter the name of a campaign for which you'd like to see changes. You'll be able to pick from a list of suggestions once you start typing. You can then further narrow results by entering an ad group name in the second field that appears. Alternatively, enter 'Account only' or 'All changes,' which will show you changes made only at the account level or changes made to all campaigns, respectively.

   • Change type: Use the checkboxes to filter by change type. Check All to see all changes made, or check one or more of the change types to narrow the results. Learn what each change type means.

   • User: If multiple users with different logins manage your account, you can use the drop-down menu in the Made by section to view changes made by a particular user.

3. Click Filter Change History. The changes that occurred in your account for the selected parameters will be listed as well as displayed in a chart.

4. Click Show all details to see more information about each change. Click Hide all details to simplify the view.

5. Click Download as .csv to export your change history.

Here's an example: If you want to see all changes made to your daily budget and cost-per-click (CPC) bids in the last two weeks, start by selecting the appropriate date range from the first set of drop-down menus. Then, enter "All changes" in the Affecting level field and check the boxes labeled Budget and CPC (make sure All isn't checked). Choose All users from the final drop-down menu and click Filter Change History.
