Copying Experiments

Copy to creates a duplicate of an Experiment and copies it to another website. Use Copy to to port Experiments from a preview website to a live website.

Before you begin

You cannot directly copy an Experiment that is Running or Finished: you must first create a duplicate (making sure the Start Date is well in the future) and then copy the duplicate to the live website.

Procedure

  1. In the slide out navigation pane, select Targeting.

    The Targeting Dashboard appears.

  2. In the Source drop-down menu:
    1. Select an environment for which you want to manage Experiments. For example, you will typically have a "Staging" environment and a "Live" environment:
      • Staging is an environment that is available only to internal users and is where you develop and test targeting functionality and new promotional content. On this environment, you can use Experience Manager for inline editing and testing.
      • Live is your external, public-facing environment where visitors can access your production content.
    2. Click the Experiments tab to view the list of Experiments available for the environment.
    A list of Experiments for which you have Manage Experiments rights is displayed.
  3. Go to the Experiment you want to copy and open the actions menu in the right-hand corner:
  4. Click Copy to.

    The Copy Experiment to another list appears.

  5. Select the website where you want to copy the Experiment to and click Copy from the drop-down menu.
  6. Confirm you want to copy the Experiment.

Results

The Experiment is copied to the selected website. If the Experiment already exists in the target website, the existing copy will be replaced.
