Any changes you make to the campaign or ad settings immediately affects estimated data so you can evaluate your potential audience reach.
As an advertising data operator, Yandex assigns each creative a unique identifier (token) when creating campaigns. It uses this token to aggregate all your placement data and send it to the Unified Register of Online Advertising (ERIR). Learn more about ad labeling.
