- A budget bid strategy can only be configured in a budget plan. One budget strategy is created per budget group even though the settings can be different in each plan.
- Budget bid strategies can't be removed. However, you can pause a budget bid strategy by editing the budget plan.

- In the budget plan editor left navigation, click the Explore target spend and apply a budget bid strategy step, and then select the Budget bid strategy checkbox.

-
The budget bid strategy is named after the budget group, with the Greek letter Δ appended.

The "Campaign daily budgets" and "Keywords and other biddable items" checkboxes are selected because a budget strategy must manage the budgets and bids to optimize spend.
