What is the Changelog in MargenOptimierer?
Last updated: 3 November 2026 · The MargenOptimierer app is in German. Button and menu names are shown exactly as you see them, with the English meaning in brackets.
The Changelog is the list of your ad changes that are still waiting to go to OTTO or have already gone there.
You open it at the top of the ad console with Changelog. In the first part, Anstehend (pending), your changes wait until you send them to OTTO. In the second part, Verlauf (history), you then see whether OTTO accepted each change.
Example: Two bids in the Changelog
Say you lower the bid for „gartentisch eiche“ from 0.50 € to 0.40 € and raise the bid for „gartenstuhl klappbar“ from 0.40 € to 0.44 €. Then 2 changes wait in the Changelog, and the old bids still apply at OTTO. If you then lower the daily budget of 3 campaigns in one go, that's one entry with 3 changes, and the list header reads „5 vorgemerkte Änderungen in 3 Einträgen“ (5 queued changes in 3 entries).
What doesn't wait in the Changelog
Some changes skip the Changelog
Some changes go to OTTO right after your click, such as new campaigns from the Kampagnen-Setup (campaign setup) page. The full list is in How do I send my changes to OTTO?
Withdrawing and reversing changes
If Verlauf still shows „läuft, 0 von …“ (running, 0 of …), MargenOptimierer hasn't started sending yet. If you expand the row at that point, Zurückziehen (withdraw) brings your changes back, and they're listed under Anstehend again. Once a change is at OTTO, Zurücknehmen (reverse) puts the previous value back. A value that has changed again since then is left as it is.
