Apply the winner #

  1. Open the finished test and click Apply Winner Permanently.
  2. Review the changes shown for the page or product.
  3. Confirm: the page (Element test) or product (WooCommerce test) now shows the winner to everyone.

For WooCommerce tests, the full field-by-field comparison needs Pro.

Good practice #

  • Apply the winner, then keep an eye on the page’s Evolution (Page X-Ray) for two weeks.
  • Archive the test and write down what you learned in its description.
  • Duplicate a winning test to try the next idea on the new baseline.

Expected result #

Winning changes live on your site, and finished tests are archived.

FAQ #

Can I restart a stopped test? #

No; duplicate it instead.

Does applying the winner keep the results? #

Yes, results stay in the test.
