This article explains how to pause evolution during a live optimization.
Pausing Evolution is a convenient way to temporarily stop our AI algorithms from exploring the search space of possible customer experiences. The Evolution phase of the project seeks to find variants with the highest impact on conversion rate by combining them with one another. Typically, the system actively removes low-performing combinations and replaces them with new ones. Pausing Evolution stops the automatic deactivation of low-performing combinations and the generation of new ones.
You can also prevent a project in the initialization phase from automatically transitioning to Evolution. Deactivating automatic transition to Evolution prevents unmonitored evolution, like over a holiday or weekend.
