The new editor
I'm a developer who uses Optimizely for many personalizations and A/B tests, and I've noticed the new UI for the editor. I just want to say I hate it.
It's absolutely horrendous. It takes several minutes to load. And, when it finally loads, it doesn't always work. Even when it does work, the editor is tiny. While it is nice to be able to see what I'm working on reflect on the page after I save, the tiny editor just ruins it because it's not great for long lines of code. I don't want to try to read through 200…

New Visual Editor - Carry over click tracking from Lagacy Editor
Please make sure to carry over click tracking fucntionality from Lagacy Editor. This is a fundamental function in the current legacy editor and the old legacy editor should not be phased out until this function is added to new editor

Create a dev only toggle that won't show the website preview
I am a developer who uses Optimizely for a lot of experimentation and have to spend a lot of the time inside of the code editor. The new editor creates way too much friction. I don't need my entire website to load and then inject optimizely's scripts. This cant take multiple seconds just to change one line of code.
I would much prefer it if we could have something like a toggle on our profile where we could choose to never show the preview and just show us the variation code in a code editor. I can always copy a…

Experiment change notification
I would like to have a notification set up for a list of users whenever a new test is set to go live or set to pause.
I am aware that there is an existing approval feature that sends approval request to a list of users. However this is not fit for purpose due to the extra steps created in the publish workflow.
We would like to have a standalone notification feature to allow key stakeholders to be notified of key experiment changes without creating too many extra steps to the current flow of the release.

Duplicate Pages
I want to have the ability to duplicate a page. Often times the page configuration is similar, for example when creating pages across environments. However, because Page duplication is not possible this causes a lot of additional work by setting up pages from scratch.

Missing preview url in new visual editor
The "share preview" is missing in the new editor. Once the old VE is retired, how do we share the changes with other team members for review?

Prioritization of Experiments and Personalization Campaigns
Problem Statement (The "Why"):
I need an easy way to manage the hierarchy of experience delivery across overlapping audiences. Currently, Optimizely allows for experience prioritization within a specific Personalization Campaign, but it lacks a "Global Air Traffic Control" for the entire Web project.
When I have multiple experiments or personalizations live on the same page (e.g., the Homepage), there is no native way to ensure that a high-value visitor (like Enterprise or Mid-Market) is prioritized into a specific experiment before being eligible for a general "All Traffic" A/B test.
Current Workaround (The Pain Point):
To achieve this today, I have…

Adjustment of permissions for users without publishing rights
Enable publishing with a test cookie / audience as priority. The Editor role should inherit all Publisher permissions except standard publishing, but should be able to publish when a specific audience/test cookie is applied.
Enable restoring experiments from the archive.
Allow setting experiment end dates.
Provide permissions to edit Pages.

New Editor -- Have option to position at top of page and control the background of the editir for visibility
Be able to have the editor at the top of the page. And add controls to alter the visual editor's color so that it can be seen easier on white pages. (Mockup uses red for example).

Enhancing A/B Testing with ES11 Modern JavaScript Features
I am proposing that we upgrade to ES11 to stay aligned with the latest JavaScript standards and leverage modern language features such as optional chaining, nullish coalescing, and Promise.allSettled. These enhancements significantly simplify handling complex asynchronous logic, reduce verbose and repetitive code, and improve overall readability and maintainability of our experiment scripts.
While we understand that upgrading is not strictly required to run experiments, adopting ES11 is vital for our growth and development as devs. It enables us to build more robust and reliable A/B tests, accelerate development and iteration cycles, and minimize technical debt. Keeping pace with evolving web…

New Editor
Hello I have been using Optimizely for over 5 years and greatly enjoyed the product. The new editor that is slated to be fully launched greatly complicates my workflow. Most of the coding and edits I do in this editor I have to use an external editor to write and then copy them into the new Optimizely editor because of the layout and bugs in this new experience.
Here are some of the bugs I have noticed while using the new layout:
-the preview screen the editor is overlayed on distorts the elements and hides the element being edited behind…2 votes -
Automatic Screenshot Generation
Create an automatic screenshot generation feature. It would work like this:
When enabled (via a setting that enables a "generate screenshot" button) Optimizely will load each variation - behind the scenes - including the control and create a screenshot based on the target audience. (i.e.: laptop, desktop, tablet, mobile - using average sizes or customer's defined UX design).
The images can be updated manually if needed.
This will save tons of time doing this manually.

Experiment Organization Folders
It would be great to be able to create folders in the experiments list to group items together. (Not the sort feature). Often, I have multiple experiments (separate mobile and desktop project that are the same content) - it would be useful to be able to organize these into groups - like in a file folder system. (See mockup)
7 votesWe are planning to redo some parts of the dashboard and the setup of certain things. As a lot of creation things will be moving into the new VE, we will be taking this into account and I will be reaching out when we get to the dashboard part.

Do not remove code when changing activation targets.
Frequently I need to switch my coding / set up from a staging to a production environment. Optimizely warns me and then REMOVES all my code.
This is fine if you are a basic non-technical user.
It would be better if this was an optional change.
Possibly provide a check box and a message in the button (see screenshot) - which would allow me to change the targeting.

reusable/transportable variants in web experimentation
As a user building variants in web experimentation,
I would like to be able to save and reuse variants across campaigns, pages and projects while deciding at the campaign/page level whether to allow the selected version to stand apart or be kept in sync (copy local versus linked). Localized from linked save could require a new name but retain the link to the original and allow for a button to copy the parent for resync/update needs.
So that I can more easily have a dev, qa, prod environment setup in web experimentation.
This would likely require that variants live outside…

Developer experience
I want Optimizely’s new developer experience to support a true IDE-first, GitHub-native workflow. I should be able to do all coding in my own IDE, manage changes through GitHub, and publish through automation and CI/CD workflows without depending on the Optimizely editor for core development tasks. The editor should support preview and collaboration, not replace standard developer tooling and deployment workflows.

o Adding pagination to events to limit the number of events loaded at once.
Currently, loading the full list of events puts a significant load on the page.
The Events view becomes very slow, and in many cases it takes several minutes before the events finish loading.
Pagination (or lazy loading / load more) is needed to reduce the amount of data rendered at once and to improve usability.1 vote -
UX Change: Run Time Calculator
Masorange has requested the run time calculator to be usable without having to create an experiment first. Once an experiment is set up, the calculator can be accessed, but it was flagged as difficult to locate and sometimes they want to use the calculator ahead of set-up. The ask is to move it to a more prominent and easily discoverable location.

Opal UI - is Awful!!
Opal is very difficult to see -- there's no contrast between it and a page in reporting (or anywhere Opal appears)
Recommend giving her some color! See screenshots.
