How do I edit a journey?

To edit a journey in draft:

  1. From the Navigation toolbar, select Journeys and choose All journeys .
  2. Select the intended journey from the list view.
  3. Click the Edit button in the top-right corner of the journey detail view page.

This will open the journey canvas, where you can make the necessary changes.



To edit a running journey:

Editing an active journey will create a new version; changes that you make will be saved to this new version.

  1. From the Navigation toolbar, select Journeys and choose All journeys .
  2. Select the intended journey from the list view.
  3. Click the More button in the top-right corner of the journey detail view page and select the Edit option.

This will open the journey canvas, where you can make the necessary changes.

Once you're done with the changes, activate the new version. Activating this version will freeze the previous active version. In other words, it will stop taking in new leads and process only the leads who already entered that version. The newly activated version will take in the new leads. You can have a maximum of 25 active (running of frozen) versions per journey.

How do I clone a journey?

  1. From the Navigation toolbar, select Journeys and choose All journeys .
  2. Mouse over the journey you wish to clone. The Clone icon will appear in the far-right corner. Click this icon to create a clone of the active version of the journey.

If you want to create a clone of a specific version of your journey:

  1. From the Navigation toolbar, select Journeys and choose All journeys .
  2. Select the intended journey from the list view.
  3. Select the version you want to clone from the top-right corner.
  4. Click the More button in the top-right corner of the version detail view page and select the Clone option.

Shut down a journey if you need to stop it from processing any leads (even those leads who have already entered the journey). You can only shut down a frozen journey.

To do this:

  1. From the Navigation toolbar, select Journeys and choose All journeys .
