Is it possible to operate on a Campaign once a Operator.SET mutation
involving setStatus of CampaignStatus.DELETED has occurred?

Specifically, is there any way to update that campaign to
CampaignStatus.ACTIVE ?

If not, if we wanted to recreate the campaign with the same name, is
it advised that we rename the old campaign and then create the new
campaign with the same name? Or is there a better way to do all this?

Thanks
Pete

Hi Pete,

Campaigns and ad groups can be resurrected at any time by setting
their status to ACTIVE. To resurrect a keyword you simply need to re-
ADD it to the ad group. Ads cannot be resurrected at all. This is
consistent with the AdWords web interface.

Best,
- Eric Koleda, AdWords API Team
