Edit the device bid-adjustment setting in a Search Ads 360 bid strategy

When you first create a Search Ads 360 bid strategy with an ROI goal, you can choose between getting recommendations for device bid adjustments or letting the bid strategy set device bid adjustments for you.

If you start with getting recommendations, which is the default, you can edit the bid strategy so that it makes the adjustments.

If you start with letting the bid strategy make adjustments, you can edit the bid strategy so that it only recommends adjustments.
