Notes about version 7.6.1

Ad extensions: If you’ve enabled ad extensions for a campaign, you can download and manage that campaign in AdWords Editor. However, it isn’t possible to change the extensions settings in AdWords Editor. Also, if you’ve specified that a particular location be paired with a specific ad, that ad may only be edited online; it will not appear in AdWords Editor. Learn more
