Manage Your Bids with the Multi-Bid Editor
The ironSource multi-bid editor is designed to offer an easy way to manage the bids across all your campaigns. Your campaign multi-bids determine how much you’re willing to pay for the desired interaction with your ad on a per application, per geo basis.
This editor allows you to export the CSV that contains a list of your selected campaigns’ multi-bids if you’d like to have it on hand. The bids are defined on a per application, per geo basis. You can easily edit existing bids, create new ones or delete outdated ones within the CSV. You can then upload the CSV to the ironSource platform and will then receive an email confirming the changes to your campaigns’ bids within minutes!
Step 1. Edit Your Campaign Multi-Bids
To manage your bids, navigate to the Campaign Management page on your ironSource dashboard. Select Campaigns on the left menu bar on your ironSource account.
It is recommended to download the multi-bid CSV template which includes the correct formatting necessary to edit your campaigns. In the case you have this exact CSV on hand, you may skip this step.
You can choose to download all campaigns or select specific campaigns that you’d like to adjust multi-bids for. 
The CSV allows you to edit any campaign, regardless of whether or not you have editing rights on the campaign dashboard.
Download All Campaigns
If you’d like to make bid adjustments to all the campaigns with existing multi-bids, select ‘All Multi-Bid Campaigns‘ and click ‘Download‘.
Download Specific Campaigns
If you have a predefined list of campaigns you’d like to add or adjust multi-bids for, select ‘Specific Campaigns‘ and enter the campaignIDs. Then click ‘Select Campaigns‘ and ‘Download‘.
The campaignID must be valid ID
Step 2. Edit Your Bids in Bulk
Export the CSV that contains your current bids as well as details on your campaigns’ ID, Geo and App. This should make it easy to make bid adjustments to any given campaign in your CSV.
