AdWords Editor is used by many advertisers, mainly because it makes our lives easier.

But many users overlook a useful feature – the ability to add comments as reminders to themselves, or as explanations for other AdWords Editor users working on an account.

I personally make notes of dates that I add keywords, pause keywords, raise/lower keyword bids, add negative keywords, change match types on keywords or negative keywords, raise/lower ad group default max cpc’s, raise/lower budgets and more.

Realistically, AdWords is all about experimentation, and some changes you make will definitely have a negative impact. Comments are a quick and easy way of tracking your changes.

But be aware of the main limitations:

- comments on ad groups or campaigns without changes won’t be exported
- comments are plain text, so multiple users should indicate their comment with their initial
- comments are sometimes erased when updating AdWords Editor
