In short​

To duplicate an experiment or a variation, simply click the three-dot menu for the experiment or the corresponding variation in the dashboard and select „duplicate.“ Duplicated experiments and variations are assigned a new experiment or variant ID.which should be taken into account when evaluating the results.

Duplicate experiment​

With just one click, you can duplicate an experiment right from your dashboard. To do this, click the three dots in the upper-right corner and then select „duplicate.“.

The experiment is now duplicated with all the variations it contains. It is also given the same experiment name with the addition "(copy)" at the end.

Regardless of whether the original experiment was started or paused, the new duplicated experiment will always be paused.

The duplicated experiment itself and the variations it contains are assigned new IDs.

Duplicate variation​

You can duplicate a variation directly in your dashboard with just one click. To do this, go to the dashboard and click on the three-dot menu in the row of the desired variation on the far right. In addition to the options 'Rename' and 'Delete', you will also find the option to 'Duplicate'.

Variation menu open with the entries duplicate, rename and delete

Edit duplicated variation​

The duplicated variation is now displayed as a new variation with its own variant ID in your experiment. The variant ID is important for the Evaluation of results.

Rename the new variation to make it easier to distinguish. You can then edit the variation as usual by clicking the ‚Edit‘ button. You can use the ‚Preview‘ link to view or share them.

Adjust traffic distribution after duplication​

The duplicated variation is always added with a 0% traffic distribution. Therefore, you can also duplicate a variation during a running experiment without users seeing it immediately.

To play the variation, you can simply adjust the traffic distribution. For example, set the value to 33% to assign it this share of the traffic.

If you only want to play the duplicated version, set the traffic distribution to 100%.
