Reading additional essential knowledge, such as “Guide On How To Add Agency To Facebook Ad Account In 2024“, will also greatly assist you in your advertising journey by preventing the repetition of serious errors. I have summarized these notes briefly and comprehensibly below:

You can’t make a deleted ad work the same way

You cannot make a deleted ad function exactly as it did before. My simple guide involves creating a duplicate of the deleted ad and activating it. If you want the deleted ad to continue functioning as it did before, meaning you want it to continue generating conversions just like before deletion, that is not possible.

In brief, the Learning Phase is the process where Facebook reads and distributes your ads to the audience. Whether you are recovering ads following my guide or making some edits during the ad recovery, or even modifying active ads, it initiates the Learning Phase anew.

What does that mean? It means you will need to wait for an additional period for Facebook to understand your ad, and it will be similar to the process of waiting for Facebook to distribute a new ad template. It takes time.
