This topic describes how to:
  • Organize experiments in a project
  • Quickly filter and find experiments

As your optimization program grows, your Optimizely Web Experimentation project will include more and more experiments. Sifting through them can be overwhelming.

Archive and unarchive experiments

Consider archiving experiments that are no longer active, so they do not show up in your project. You will still be able to reference and unarchive the experiment if you like.

To archive an experiment:

  1. Go to the Home page > Optimizely Web Experimentation.
  2. Click the Actions (...) icon for the experiment you want to archive and select Archive.
  3. Select Archive on the confirmation modal.

You cannot unarchive an experiment that is part of a running campaign. You must pause the campaign, unarchive the experiment, and then start the campaign again.
