Pause or resume boosted posts

Classic Pages on Facebook are updating to the new Pages experience. You'll still have access to many of the same features to manage your professional presence, build your brand or business, grow your audience and connect with followers. Your content, insights, ads, Likes and followers will automatically transfer when your Page updates.
When you boost a post you may want to pause it and then later resume it.

Pause a boosted post

To pause your boosted post:

  1. Go to your Facebook Page.
  2. Click Ad Center from the menu on the left.
  3. Find your active boosted post and click the icon with the three dots . You may need to click See all first.
  4. Choose Pause ad in the dropdown.
  5. Click Confirm in the pop-up window. Your ad status will now show as Paused.
    • To resume, follow steps 1-3 to find your paused ad. Then choose Resume ad in the dropdown. Your ad status will now show as Active.

Note: You can also pause your ad by following steps one to three to find your active ad. Then click View results and turn off the toggle in the Details section. This will pause your ad. When you click the toggle again, your ad will resume and its status will show as Active.
