Disable a Group
Learn how to disable poorly performing experiment groups while keeping other test groups running.
Disabling a group in an experiment
Disabling a group turns off one test group in a multi-group experiment while the other groups keep running. Users assigned to the disabled group start receiving the default experience. Disable a group when it performs poorly or creates a bad user experience.
What to expect when you disable a group
- 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.
- The disabled group doesn't trigger Sample Ratio Mismatch (SRM).
- 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 you disable the group.
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 during the experiment. The metric data collected for the group may reflect these multiple experiences.
