AdWords Editor CSV import - How do you identify entities uniquely?

[al...@trueclicks.com]

Hello,

I have a question about programmatically constructing an AdWords Editor CSV import.

The documentation says that in order to update and entity, we should provide mandatory columns with #Original suffix. I can use AdWords Editor to find out which columns are mandatory. Nevertheless we found out that mandatory column does not necessarily identifies specific entity (ad, keyword, sitelink, etc.).

Here is an example for shared sitelinks

- The documentation says that those are the mandatory columns (those with #Original suffix):

Link Text#Original Description Line 1 Description Line 2 Description Line 1#Original Description Line 2#Original

- Those sitelinks are not sufficiently identifying a single sitelink though

- You can have more than one sitelink in your account with the same Link Text, Description Line1 and Description Line 2

- In my case it several sitelinks that differ in destination url

- I wonder, is there documented anywhere which combination of columns identifies uniquely sitelink and eventually, any other entity such as ad, keyword, etc?

We need to avoid that user updates more than one entity with our generated AdWords Editor import.

Best,

 Ales
