We’ve introduced new advertising objectives into Campaign Manager. Ad sets created under the old Campaign Manager experience will now be known as legacy ad sets.
Legacy Ad sets - Overview
Last updated: 11 months ago
The experience is optimized to generate better results. We recommend you use the new objectives to create your ad sets, rather than duplicating or reactivating old legacy ad sets. Learn more about the new Objective-Based Advertising experience in Campaign Manager.
Previous Ad sets will be labeled Legacy in Campaign Manager once you’ve ramped to the new experience.
If you duplicate or reactivate a legacy ad set, it will be created or reactivated under the old objectives.
Changes to pricing and optimization for legacy ad sets
The chart below summarizes the optimization and chargeable clicks for both legacy and new objectives. If you choose to reactivate or duplicate legacy ad sets, they will be optimized and charged according to legacy objectives. If you create new objective-based ad sets, they will be optimized and charged according to the new objectives. Learn more about objective-based pricing for LinkedIn advertising.

When you create an ad set, you’ll choose from settings to determine who your ad is displayed to, where your ad is displayed, how much your ad set spends, and when your ad set runs. Optionally, you can also add tracking such as conversion tracking or URL tracking parameters.
The first step when you select your ad set settings is to choose a marketing objective. An objective is the goal you’d like to achieve with your ad set. Ad sets are optimized for delivery to people most likely to take the action you want based on the objective you select. Each objective offers ad formats and bidding strategies that align with the goals of that objective.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a type of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) that requires a person to use more than one form of verification to access an account, usually by "knowing something" such as a password and by "having something" such as a mobile device.
When LinkedIn does not recognize the device that you're attempting to use to sign in to your Recruiter account, you'll be asked to enter your LinkedIn.com account password as the first layer of verification and a pin code as the second step of verification. The pin code will be sent to your phone via text message (SMS) or authenticator app, depending on the two-factor authentication method you selected:
- Text (SMS): You’ll need a phone capable of receiving SMS (text) messages. The phone number you enter to turn on two-factor authentication won’t appear on your LinkedIn profile. Note: Carrier charges may apply.
- Authenticator App: This method uses an app-based authentication code. You’ll need a phone compatible with an authenticator app, such as Microsoft Authenticator.
