By using the Wingify Live preview, you can verify the changes applied to your website before making it active for your visitors. In addition to reviewing the changes, you can also use Live Preview to check your visitor target or verify that the goals are working as expected.
To understand how to verify segmentation by using Live Previews, let us assume you create a segment with the cookie value “signedup” to identify your registered visitors. If a visitor is registered, the cookie value equals 1, else, the cookie value equals 0.
Verify Segmentation Using Live Previews
To verify if the segmentation is applied as expected or not, perform this:
- Log in to your Wingify account.
- Go to Web Experimentation > your campaign.
- Go to Review > Live Preview.
- From the Variation dropdown, select the variation you want to preview.
-
In the Preview URL field, enter the URL on which you want to preview the changes.
Note: If your test is running on multiple pages, you can preview them individually. - To preview your variation, click Preview in a new tab.
- The preview of the selected variation opens in a new tab with the preview debugger message. If the defined cookie is not found in the visitor’s browser, the QA Assistant pop-up window confirms visitor exclusion.
- On the other hand, if Wingify finds the cookie value defined in the visitor’s browser, the QA Assistant confirms the cookie and makes the visitor a part of the test.
Some Best Practices
- The segmentation preview option is available only through the QA Assistant. Segmentation conditions are not applied to previews loaded through live preview links.
- It is recommended that you clear the cookies if you have used live preview for the test earlier to make sure that existing preview cookies do not conflict.
