Planning the year
The year grid — ad accounts down, twelve months across — with the shortcuts, keyboard moves and save behaviour that make filling it bearable.
Budgets › Plan is where amounts are typed. Ad accounts run down the page, the twelve months of the year run across, and every cell is an input. The current month's column is highlighted, and totals sit at the end of every row and the foot of every column.
The year is chosen with the period pill next to the heading, and lives in the address.
Filling it in
Typing into a cell marks it unsaved; nothing is written until you save. The toolbar shows N unsaved changes with Save and Discard next to it. On a phone the same three follow you as a floating pill, so the save button is never a scroll away.
The row menu (⋯) has three shortcuts, each of which fills empty cells only —
they never overwrite a number you typed:
| Shortcut | Effect |
|---|---|
| Fill the year from January | January's amount into every later empty month. |
| Copy <current month> to the rest of the year | This month's amount forward. |
| Clear the year | Empties the row. |
Keyboard
| Key | |
|---|---|
| Enter | Move down to the next ad account, same month. |
| Escape | Revert the cell you're in. |
| Ctrl / Cmd + S | Save everything. |
On a phone the grid becomes one folded card per ad account — the header carries the
year total, unfolding gives twelve month → input rows — and Enter walks the
months of the account on screen instead.
Saving
Save writes only the cells you touched, in one batch. Discard drops them all. Drafts do not survive the page: switching to another year or navigating away asks first, and answering no keeps you where you are.
Calendar months only
Budgets are calendar months. There is no custom period, and there is no partial-month budget — the pacing model divides a month evenly by its days, and a period that starts on the 14th would make every figure on the pacing screen ambiguous.
Campaign budgets aren't here
The year grid plans ad accounts. A campaign budget is a slice of one account's month and is created from the pacing screen — its row menu's Add campaign budget….
