Copy Bid Groups and Bid Preferences

This article describes how to copy bid groups and bid preferences.

You can copy bid groups and bid preferences from:

• within your Current and Default bids.

• your Current to your Default bid or the other way around.

• bid preferences from a Pairing to Reserve bid group or the other way around.

Note: You cannot copy all bid preferences from a Pairing to a Reserve group. For example, you cannot copy an Award Pairings bid preference to a Reserve group. If a bid preference cannot be copied and pasted, the Paste options will not be enabled.
