Edit an experiment

You can use the Experiments dashboard to edit a draft experiment. Click on the name of the experiment and the experiment configuration screen displays with the focus on the variant page.

You can edit the scheduled end date of an experiment that is in progress by clicking on the name of the experiment to open the experiment configuration screen, then clicking on the Schedule button and selecting Edit Schedule. You can save the new scheduled end date by clicking Save on the schedule configuration panel, or you can cancel the change by clicking Cancel.

From the experiment configuration screen, you can change any of the details associated with the experiment. The process for editing an experiment is the same as the process for creating an experiment. You can edit the variant content, target, goals, and schedule for the experiment using the process described in the Create a layout based experiment section of this document.

Start or stop an experiment

If the variant, target, and goals for an experiment are defined you can start an experiment ahead of its scheduled start date and time by clicking the Start button in the header panel on the experiment configuration screen. This gives you the option to either start the experiment immediately and sets the end date 28 days from the time that the experiment started, or to define a schedule for the experiment. Please refer to the Configure the schedule section of this document for more information.

To stop an experiment that is currently in progress, click on the Stop button for the experiment on the In Progress Experiments page or on the experiment configuration screen. This stops the experiment with immediate effect, updates the end date and time for the experiment and moves the experiment to the Completed panel on the Experiments dashboard.

You can also stop an experiment that is currently in progress by clicking on the Stop button in the experiment configuration panel Detailed Results screen for the experiment.

Edit the End Date of an In Progress Experiment

You can change the duration of an experiment that is currently in progress. To do this, click on the name of the experiment you want to edit from either the Experiments dashboard or the In Progress page to display the Experiment Configuration screen. Then click on the Schedule button, and select Edit Schedule. Enter the new End Date and click the Save button.
