# Update ad group state

'State' or 'Status' refers to the current operational condition of an ad group, or ad. States include 'enabled', 'paused' and 'archived'. It's essential to note that the terms 'state' and 'status' are often used interchangeably in the context of the app, both indicating the ad group's operational mode.
