Over the next several Google Ads API updates, we'll be adding new types of resources you can track using the [`ChangeStatus`](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v19/ChangeStatus) feature.  

<br />

**What this means for you:**   

- **More detailed tracking**: You'll soon be able to better track changes to your Google Ads accounts.
- **Important - Check for `UNKNOWN` changes** : Even in older versions of the API, you might start seeing new change entries. These entries will show up as `UNKNOWN` resource types because the older versions won't support the new values.

<br />

**How to prepare:**   

- **Handle `UNKNOWN`** : If your app uses `ChangeStatus`, make sure it can handle entries with a resource type of `UNKNOWN`. This will prevent errors when the new types are added.
- **Update to the latest API version** : Once the new version is released, updating your app will show the correct, specific names of the new change types instead of `UNKNOWN`.
- We'll announce the exact new resource types in the release notes when the update is live.
