# Can I exclude paused campaigns from Squared until they go live?

You can tell Squared.io to ignore paused campaigns or ad groups by applying this label "Squared:Paused" in Google Ads. 

Campaigns or ad groups with this label will be excluded from the audit and automation (i.e. delete zero impression ad groups)

If a campaign or ad group with this label does go live, Squared will automatically remove the label so they can be included in the audit and automation.
