Hello Imran, You can refer to this example code <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/campaign-drafts-experiments#creating_a_draft> on how to create a draft campaign. Once you have that, it will serve as a mirror of the base campaign, that said, you need to use the *draftCampaignId* if you wish to update an entity under the draft campaign (e.g. update the status of its ads). To do so, you may use the AdGroupAdService.mutate <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201609/AdGroupAdService#mutate> operation. The steps may be as follows:
1. Get the adGroups under the draft campaign using *draftCampaignId*. An example code can be found here <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/campaign-drafts-experiments#customizing_the_draft_campaign> . 2. Get the ads under the adGroup found in #1 using the adGroupId returned. An example code that shows how to get an ad (e.g. ExpandedTextAd) in an adGroup is here <https://github.com/googleads/googleads-java-lib/blob/master/examples/adwords_axis/src/main/java/adwords/axis/v201609/basicoperations/GetExpandedTextAds.java> . 3. Pause the ad using the adGroupId returned in #1 and adId returned in #2. An example code to pause an ad is available here <https://github.com/googleads/googleads-java-lib/blob/master/examples/adwords_axis/src/main/java/adwords/axis/v201609/basicoperations/PauseAd.java> . Other client libraries are available here <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/clientlibraries>.
