Step-by-Step Tutorial
Start and stop experiments
Starting an experiment
As soon as you have created a variant using the Varify.io editor, it will be displayed at the top of your dashboard under the name you have chosen.
To start the experiment, you must have a valid page targeting. Page targeting is used to determine where on your website the experiment should take place.
To do this, go to the "Page targeting" tab and add a valid URL. Then click on "Save" to save the setting.
The "Start Experiment" button is now active and your experiment will start as soon as you click on it.
You can monitor the status of your experiment at the top left next to the experiment name. A green or red dot indicates whether your experiment is live:
- Green dot: The experiment is active and live.
- Red dot: The experiment has not yet been started or is paused.
Pausing an experiment
If you want to pause your experiment temporarily, simply click on the "Pause experiment" button. This appears instead of the "Start experiment" button as soon as you have already started the experiment.
Pausing will stop the experiment and it will not run again until you start it again.
If you want to continue a paused experiment, click on the "Resume Experiment" button. This will make your experiment live again.
You can check the status of the experiment at any time using the green or red dot at the top right of the experiment name.
