Disable a Group
Learn how to disable poorly performing experiment groups while keeping other test groups running.
Disabling a group in an experiment
When you start an experiment with multiple test groups and find that one group is performing poorly or creating bad user experiences, you can disable that group while keeping the other test groups running.
What to expect when a group is disabled
- Users already assigned to the disabled group begin to receive the default experience.
- Statsig can assign new users to the disabled group, and those users receive the default experience.
- Statsig continues tracking exposures for the disabled group.
- Sample Ratio Mismatch (SRM) isn't triggered from the disabled group.
- Statsig continues to calculate experiment results for the disabled group.
Statsig continues showing the group and logging exposures so that you can verify that user experiences have recovered after the group was disabled.
How to disable a group
- Log into the Statsig console at https://console.statsig.com
- On the left-hand navigation panel, select Experiments
- Select the experiment where you want to disable a group
- Click the ... menu in the top right corner
- Select Disable A Group
- Select the experiment groups you want to disable, then select Confirm
Reenable a group
To reenable a previously disabled group, use the ... menu and select Disable or Enable A Group.
Users in any reenabled group may have experienced multiple treatment experiences over the course of the experiment. The metric data collected for the group may reflect this.
