Manage a Personalize Project
Use this guide to manage an existing Personalize project, navigate project areas, update settings, manage users, connect a stack, or delete the project.
Prerequisites
- Contentstack account
- Access to the Contentstack Organization as the Owner/Admin that has Personalize enabled
- An existing stack you want to link to the Personalize project.
Project Workspace
- In the top navigation bar, click the App Switcher icon and then click Personalize.
- From the Projects list, select the project you want to manage.
After opening a project, use the top navigation bar to switch between the following sections:
- Experiences: Create and manage segmented and A/B test experiences. From here, you can activate, pause, reprioritize, or archive experiences as requirements change or experiments conclude.
- Audiences: View the audience segments used for targeting experiences. This area helps you understand which audiences are in use, update targeting criteria, and archive segments that are no longer relevant.
- Attributes: Define and manage the user and contextual attributes that power audience evaluation and targeting decisions across experiences.
- Events: Configure and track events used for impressions, conversions, and performance measurement, enabling optimization over time.
- Settings: Manage project-level configuration and administration, including project details, CMS stack connection, user access, and lifecycle actions such as project deletion.
Most personalization activities occur in Experiences, Audiences, Attributes, and Events. Use Settings for administrative tasks that affect the project as a whole.
