- Create and manage Projects and Experiments
- Add, remove, duplicate, and archive Projects or Experiments
Once you start using Optimizely Web Experimentation, you will have a growing number of experiments and campaigns to manage. Projects help you keep everything organized.
Projects let you subdivide your Optimizely Web Experimentation account into little territories: for different sections of a website, multiple sites, or different products.
Each project has its own: Optimizely Web Experimentation snippet, set of experiments, and set of collaborators.
If your account uses custom snippets, you might see more than one snippet listed for your projects.
