Shared link design updates.We’ve overhauled the design of shared experiment links for both desktop and mobile devices.

https://app.growthmethod.com/gallery/growthhackers-experiments.Experiment versioning.When completing an experiment you will now see the dialog below, which provides 4 options:
Selecting ‘Create new version’ will create a new experiment automatically, with the stage automatically, removing the need to create and score an idea.
A small version annotation will be added to the experiment in all views and reports, and a version history enables you to view and navigation between all versions.
Versions can have the same number, or different names, so you can create versions such as:
- Copy secure link (to share with stakeholders)
- Create a new version of the experiment
- Create a new idea
- Do nothing

A small version annotation will be added to the experiment in all views and reports, and a version history enables you to view and navigation between all versions.Versions can have the same number, or different names, so you can create versions such as:- Optimise Identity & Access Management guide SEO v1
- Optimise Identity & Access Management guide SEO v2
- Optimise Identity & Access Management guide SEO v3 Or create versions such as:
- Implement new CRO solutions page template for network v1
- Implement new CRO solutions page template for cloud v2
- Implement new CRO solutions page template for v3 As we have written about previously , agile marketing and experimentation are the modern day answer to 100+ year old waterfall project planning. Our new versioning functionality is designed to make implementing agile marketing within your organisation a breeze.
New widget display options.The ideas submitted dashboard widget can now be configured to show all ideas, top scored ideas, or unscored ideas.
No more lost updates, autosave is here.We have implemented autosave on experiments to enhance the saving experience and make lost work a thing of the past.
Growth Method will now autosave the design, hypothesis and results fields on experiments every 2.5 seconds after a change is made.
Autosave operates in the background and is completely transparent to you as a user, so you can work safe in the knowledge that none of your work will get lost, even if you forget to save it yourself.

This includes: Experiments by stage, Team overview, Experiments started, Experiments completed.
This includes: Experiments by stage, Team overview, Experiments started, Experiments completed.Hypothesis suggestion text.Placeholder text has been added to the hypothesis field to help you follow best practises when structuring your hypothesis.
The text is largely based on
Craig Sullivan’s Hypothesis Kit
andis as follows:

- We believe that [change] will cause [impact]
- We’ll measure this using [data metric]
Experiment complete notification.A new email notification is now sent when an experiment is moved to complete, this is the same as the idea submitted and experiment started notifications. Similarly, a new confirmation dialog is shown before sending.
Stats row on individual reports.A new stats row has been added to individual reports.
This new row shows the number of New ideas, Started experiments, Completed experiments and Successful experiments for the individual during the select period (90 days by default), in addition to providing a comparison with the previous period.
This is an initial release of this new functionality with further updates planned.

Top scoring ideas.You can now filter for ‘Top scored ideas’ with the Ideas Submitted homepage widget.
This means teams can display the highest scoring ideas, effectively a prioritised to-do list, on their dashboards.

Please note this change does not apply retrospectively and only applies to newly added links.
Please note this change does not apply retrospectively and only applies to newly added links.Start experiment button.We have added a clearer ‘start experiment’ action to scored ideas in order to make it easier to progress your ideas to the next step.
Always show overdue experiments.We now always include overdue experiments on individual reports, regardless of the time period selected.
Many of our customers use individual reports as a task list, and it’s easy for experiments to roll-past the 90 day default window and then get forgotten about.

This is in preparation for further enhancements to report content.
Field validation.We are exploring additional reporting capabilities (such as experiment channel mix) which will be more accurate if all fields are entered on new idea submission.
Previously you could enter a new idea without a goal or channel. This is no longer possible and field validation errors and warnings are now in place for all fields on idea submission - Title, Goal, Hypothesis and Channel.
Highlighting overdue experiments.When experiments are past their due date the due date is now highlighted in red to make it clear where attention is needed.
Stats added to team report.A new section containing high level stats has been added to the team report.
The 4 stats are: New ideas, Started experiments, Completed experiments and Successful experiments.
Fixed experiment status bug.Fixed a user-reported bug which prevented some experiments moving from analysing to complete correctly.
New design for sharing links on mobile.The look and feel of sharing links when accessed on mobile devices have been dramatically improved.
Changes include reduced spacing to make better use of the screen estate, changing the background colour from grey to white for better contrast and adding a line divider for better hierarchy.

The confirmation dialog provides the option to continue and submit, or to go back and keep editing.

This is effectively a 3 month timeframe on a rolling basis, which prevents any dramatic changes to the data in the individual report between quarters.

- Like
- Score
- Share
- Delete
Updated share experiment styling.The styling of shared experiments has been improved to include details of the experiment name, owner, start date and target completion date.
The remaining time the secure link is valid for is indicated in the top right-hand corner of the page.
Individual report defaults to logged-in user.The Individual report now defaults to the logged-in user.
When you click on this report you will now automatically see your own experiments without having to select your name from the team member dropdown.

Individual and Team reports including completed.The individual and team reports now include Completed experiments. Effectively, these reports now show all experiments that have been worked on, or “touched”, during the report period.
These reports default to showing a time period of last quarter.
These reports default to showing a time period of last quarter.Improved channel label design.We’ve designed a new colour palette for channel labels (as below) which you’ll find implemented throughout the app, in both ideas and experiment views, and in reports.
