Hi Bill, Oh, I see, sorry I didn't get your question in the first place. Yes, you modify bids in the exact same way as you would ones in normal campaigns, by modifying the BiddingStrategyConfiguration for the ad group criteria.
Bear in mind that in this tree structure only the bids on the leaves matter, though. Any node which is of partition type SUBDIVISION will see its bid ignored, as due to the way trees need to be set up all bids will end up in one of its leaves (whether it's a specific value leaf or an "Other" leaf).
