Finalizing an LPO Test

When the test period for the LPO test is over, you need to decide if the original page or one of the variations is the winner. You have the following options:

Select the winner after the end date has expired
Stop the test manually and select a winner (this is useful if the test has given an adequate test result over a shorter period of time than scheduled)

To follow the progress of the test and select the winner, go to LPO > Report tab.

When you select the winner, that version of the page will change automatically to Published Version in EPiServer CMS, and the other versions that were included in the test will not be shown to the visitors. However, you can find all the different versions in the version list in Edit mode.

The test will also change status to Finalized and will be moved to Archive.

Note that when you select a web page as a winner, this action cannot be undone. It also means that you cannot make any more changes in the LPO test, and the test cannot be restarted.

Selecting the Winner after the End Date Has Expired

Select the winner of the LPO test as follows:

Click Set as Winner under the thumbnail of the web page you want to be the winner of the LPO test. The web page status will be changed to Test Winner.

Stopping the LPO Test Manually and Selecting Winner

Finalize the LPO test manually and select winner as follows:

Click Stop to stop the test.
Click Set as Winner under the thumbnail of the web page you want to be the winner of the LPO test. The web page status will be changed to Test Winner.

After you have selected the winner you can export or print the results, see Exporting or Printing an LPO Test.
