You can edit your journeys after you launch them while they are in different statuses. Although you can edit all elements in every status, editing the flow is limited to some elements so as not to affect the journey logic and performance.
This article explains the following:
- Edit non-launched journeys
- Edit active, test, dry run, and sunset journeys
- Edit the flow in active, passive, and sunset journeys
- Analytics of the previous versions
Edit non-launched journeys
Journeys that you have not launched yet are on draft status. You can edit all elements in these journeys. The autosaving function saves your edits automatically.
Edit active, test, dry run, and sunset journeys
After you launch your journey on active, test, or dry run status, or change it from active to sunset status, you can edit the content of all elements or any settings of the channels in this journey when it is running.
Once you click the Edit button placed next to the elements, the content and settings of all elements will be automatically editable.
When you change the starter or check elements, wait duration, and content of the channels, new users who arrive at the respective element will proceed with the flow according to these changes.
To avoid changing the flow of the journeys, editing elements that generate multiple paths is limited in adding or deleting new paths. Only settings or content of the following elements are editable:
| Element | What is editable? |
|---|---|
| Check Conditions | Conditions for each path |
| Check Interaction | Conditions for each path |
| Check Reachability | Reachability for each path |
| A/B Split | Allocation and A/B Winner Autoselection |
| Next Best Channel | Not editable |
See below for the editable elements and limitations for each activation status.
| Status | Editable Elements | Limited Editing | Editable via Journey Versioning | Noneditable Elements |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Active, Sunset, Passive |
|
| - | |
| Test, Dry Run |
| - |
| |
| Draft | All elements and settings | - | - | - |
If you want to edit the flow, add or delete a new element or path in Test or Dry Run journeys, you need to change the journey status to passive and click the Edit Journey button on Canvas.
Edit the flow in active, passive, and sunset journeys
You can make edits on your active, passive and sunset Journeys without losing their analytics and your users using the Journey Versioning.
Once you click the Edit Journey option on Canvas, a new version of your journey will be created in draft version while the previous version is still active. You can change the journey flow, edit element contents and also add/remove Exit Criterias or Journey Goals. In other words, anything you can execute within a draft journey is replicable within your draft version.
After you finish your edits, you can launch your draft version and your active version will automatically be taken to sunset. All of the new users eligible to enter the journey will continue from the new version whereas the old users who were already in progress will continue in the previous version.
You can see the previous 5 versions of your journey on the Listing Page. 
You can click on the version to directly go to the Canvas of that version. You can switch to Canvases of other Versions from there as well.
