Managing Media Sources on the Ad Group level:
The management of media sources is integrated directly into the ad group settings, providing you with quick access to customize your ad targeting.
To manage your media sources selection, navigate to Settings at the Ad Group level.
Select the ad group you wish to modify and open the "Settings" tab to view the ad group settings drawer.
Locate the "Inventory" tab within the settings drawer.
In the media sources section, you will see all available media sources in the Available media sources dropdown. Select the ones you'd like to add. Once added, you will see the media source in the list below the dropdown. If you would like to remove the media source from your ad group, simply click X to remove it.
Managing Media Sources on Account level:
In addition to managing media sources on the account level, you also have the option to control which media sources will be available to you in your ad groups on the account level.
Navigate to the Account settings
Move sources from the Available to Allowed section. All sources moved to the Allowed section will become available to target in your Ad group settings.
Adding new media sources to your ad group
For New Ad Groups:
When creating new ad groups, they are by default configured with the "Automatically add new media sources" option enabled. This ensures that if any new media sources become available, they will be included in your ad group without any additional steps on your part. However, you have full control over this feature and can opt out whenever necessary. If you prefer not to include new sources automatically, simply deselect this checkbox.
For existing ad group
Unlike new ad groups, existing ad groups will not automatically inherit a new source. To enable the auto-adding feature for existing ad groups, you can use either of these two options:
Manually select the "Automatically add new media sources" option for each ad group.
Contacting Customer Success representatives to facilitate adding the new source to all non-archived ad groups within a specific account.
These choices give you the flexibility to scale up the inclusion of new media sources across your campaigns, either at a granular level or more comprehensively, depending on your need for control and convenience.
FAQ

You still have the option to control which media sources will be available to you in your ad groups on the account level by moving sources from the Available to Allowed section in the Account settings.
