Can I Edit Live Campaigns from These Dashboards?
← Back to How to Build a Global Amazon Ads Performance Scorecard
Quick answer
Amazon Ads performance dashboards are read-only reporting tools that consolidate campaign data from multiple accounts and marketplaces. They show spend, sales, clicks, and ROAS trends, but they do not include controls for editing bids, pausing campaigns, adding negative keywords, or changing budgets. Campaign changes still occur inside the Amazon Ads console and are managed manually by your team. This separation keeps analysis visible while preserving a controlled approval workflow for live changes.
If you are reviewing an Amazon Ads performance scorecard, you may notice action items like pausing a keyword or adjusting a bid. The dashboards surface those opportunities, but they intentionally stop short of executing them. That design keeps the scorecard focused on what happened and what should be reviewed, rather than becoming another management interface.
Where Live Campaign Edits Actually Happen
All live edits remain inside the Amazon Ads console. The dashboard is used to review performance, identify problems, and decide what needs to change. After that, your team opens the relevant campaign, ad group, or keyword in Amazon to apply the update manually.
- Review the performance scorecard for declining ROAS or rising wasted spend.
- Open the affected campaign in Amazon Ads console.
- Apply bid changes, negative keywords, or budget updates manually.
How Read-Only Access Still Supports Strong Decisions
A read-only scorecard can be a strong decision-support layer. It consolidates performance data across accounts and marketplaces so teams can compare trends without logging into multiple Amazon consoles.
For example, Amazon Ads Dashboard by Todoza tracks nine core KPIs and wasted spend against previous periods. The dashboard provides the evidence for a change, but the actual edit remains a human decision in the Amazon console.
When Read-Only Clarity Matters Most
This distinction matters when multiple people need to review a global Amazon Ads scorecard without risking accidental campaign changes. Stakeholders can monitor performance and flag issues, while only designated team members make live edits.
It also helps for audit-heavy workflows. Each recommendation can be reviewed before it is applied, which keeps the optimization process deliberate and traceable.
