3. Error message: „LineItemError.ALREADY_STARTED" when submitting to AdServer

This error happens because you have updated fields that affect delivery (i.e. targetings fields). There are fields like "notes" which don't affect the delivery numbers and you are able to update those in your line item without pausing. To be sure not to create problems, it is safer to always pause the line item (CampaignItem > AdServer Status), make the update and then activate the line item again.
