Hey everyone! We just upgraded one of our features to give you even more flexibility—introducing "Auto-set Winner Variations"!

✨ What’s New?

We know the two-day waiting period while data settles might not always be ideal. Now, you have more control over how your winning variation is selected!

🔹 How It Works:

The "Winner Based on Metrics" feature still selects the best-performing variation once enough data is gathered.

But now, you can choose which variation will be used as your default during that waiting period!

🎯 Your Options:

✅ Pick an automatic winner while data is still gathering (like reverting to the original if enabled).

✅ Choose your final winner based on the metric that matters most to you once the test completes.

✅ Use both options! Get the best of both worlds with smart automation.

🚀 This update gives you more flexibility while ensuring your audience always sees the best-performing content.

Try it out and let us know what you think! 💡

Happy testing! 😊

PS: You can find both options under Advanced Options in Test Settings
