  1. 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…

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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…

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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?

  8. 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…

  9. 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).

  10. 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…

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. AS An
    experiment analyst

    I WANT TO
    save the settings of the results page including start/end time, segments, etc... and have it accessible via share link and also as a link displayed on left side

    SO THAT
    i can share detailed and specific findings with others easily and return to the ones i've created easily.

  14. Optimizely currently defines revenue outliers using a fixed threshold of mean + 3 standard deviations. This approach works well for classic e-commerce use cases with stable pricing, but it becomes less reliable in scenarios where transaction values are inherently unpredictable.

    In donation-based fundraising—and in other models with variable or open-ended transaction values (e.g. donations, contributions, pay-what-you-want, grants, or memberships) - there is no fixed price catalogue. As a result, a small number of very high transactions can disproportionately influence revenue and average gift metrics.

    After reviewing this with our analysts and experimentation team, we found that applying a mean +…

  15. We found an experiment can be published even though it referenced an archived event.

    Request:

    Please add pre-publish guardrails so experiments cannot be published when they reference archived component dependencies.

    Expected behavior:
    - Block publish if any linked event, metric, or required page dependency is archived
    - Show a clear warning with the archived item names
    - Provide direct links to fix or replace each archived dependency before publish

    This would prevent avoidable debugging and protect experiment data quality.

  16. Suggestion: a way to remove the conditional activation trigger from within the visual editor without going into the page activation (auto-generated) callback and adjusting/removing it there?

    Currently this option does not exist in the Visual Editor, but would be useful if you want to undo conditional activation (easily).

  17. AS A
    experiment creator and reviewer

    I WANT TO
    improve the results page by increasing the context available for visitors that get to the page from a shared results link and may lack context into what the actual experiment is.
    1. upload an image of the control and variant to the results section/page per variation or re-use the upload in variations list.
    2. include hypothesis - could be input as part of the metrics screen
    3. include notes - could be input as part of the metrics input. should allow inclusion of links so that references to other documentation -…

  18. AS AN
    experiment builder that utilizes the code editor 95% of the time

    I WOULD LIKE TO
    be able to upload images that are used in the variant without having to create a change in the editor to access the image uploader

    SO THAT
    my build process makes more sense and I don't create an unecessary change that I then have to delete after I upload the image and get the URI.

  19. AS AN
    experimentation governance and operations manager

    I WOULD LIKE TO
    be able to 'hide results' for a time by experiment to avoid devs and partners reviewing an experiment and disseminating detailed results before we have anything near conclusive. Having a project wide settable baseline would be good along with the ability to manage it at the experiment layer. Base layer should still be displayed such as visitors, split percentages, SRM, etc... Conversion rates and success metrics should not be shown until the hide time has passed. Admins should always see all metrics.

    SO THAT
    I can avoid negatively impacting…

  20. Currently, its capabilities are limited in two main areas:
    Query Handling: The search processes only the first word of a multi-word query. For instance, a search for “Headers for PDP” will only return results matching “Headers.”
    String Matching: The search requires a complete word match and does not return results for partial strings. For example, searching for “experi” will not find items containing the word “experiment.”
    These factors reduce the discoverability of specific experiments, particularly in projects with a large volume of tests which is causing friction and frustration.
