πΊ You can watch the video below to quickly get how to manage Environments and publish Experiences to specific domains and subdomains.
A Chameleon Environment is a group of domains or subdomains to which you can deliver Experiences.
With Environments, you can always make sure your Experiences are seen by the right users. This is very useful when building features that you want to move from a Staging domain to a Production one. Or when you have multiple web pages that cater to different audience groups.
To help jumpstart your Chameleon flow, here is the step-by-step process for adding Experiences to an Environment.
You can access and manage Environments from the Domains page under Settings from the Chameleon Dashboard. With this feature, you'll have the Staging and Production Environments created by default, and depending on your plan, you'll be able to add more.
To create a new Environment, you can do so from the "Add Environment" button on the top right side, or from the Environments dropdown when managing your domains.
Next, you will assign a name and a description to the Environment you want to add. We suggest you keep in mind your team's naming conventions and goals, for better visibility of your efforts.
π― Any additional Environments you create will have a new color automatically assigned to them, but you can change the color and initials anytime. Use them strategically to help you stay organized. π
Next, start adding domains to that Environment, and to help you out Chameleon will show you a list of domains and subdomains that you can select.
Once you have your Environments set, you'll be able to publish any Experience within one, the other, or all domain groups. π You can do this during your Experience configuration from the Dashboard after you style it.
Choose the Environment (s) where you want to publish your Experience from the drop-down menu and you're done!
With Environments, it is easier than ever to control where your Experiences are displayed. Already using URL rules? Also, welcome 3-click domain management!
If you want to move your domains from one Environment to another, go to the Domains page, scroll down to Manage Domains, and click on "Enter Edit Mode". You can update the Environments of your domains, and archive, or restore previously archived domains.
When managing Experiences, if a new subdomain is detected and the parent domain is assigned to an Environment, the new subdomain will also be assigned to that Environment.
This way, you can fast-check the different deployment domains for all your Experiences. Also, anytime you want to adjust where your Experiences show up, you can do it quickly and precisely.
π Learn more about managing your domains with Environments from this article.
The Environments feature is also visible on the Analytics tab of each Experience. so you can easily update this if you need to.
When you move a domain or subdomain to a different Environment, the analytics will stay the same. We are working to implement separate analytics, but meanwhile, you can use our API call to reset the user history for everyone using the Experience in that Environment.
You can do this by applying a filter that shows you all your Experiences within a specific Environment. Then you can select them and click on the "Bulk Actions" button to Deactivate your Experiences, for fast and complete management.
π‘ You can still use URL rules to further trim down where your Experiences display if you need that extra precision.
