Abandon an Experiment

Learn how to abandon experiments and understand the implications for user assignment.

When your experiment has an issue or you need to stop it for any reason, you can abandon it. Abandoning an experiment puts it into the unstarted state, which gives every user the default experience.

Experiment abandon interface

When you abandon an experiment, the "salt" the experiment uses to randomize a user's group also changes. When you restart the experiment, Statsig randomly assigns users to a group that isn't necessarily the same group they were in before. This ensures that a group that didn't perform well due to a bug or bad experience in the previous run isn't negatively affected after you address the issue in the new run.
