Anonymous: Hey team,
Is there a way to run 2 tests on 1 landing page using Sidecar so they overlap?
I launched 2 tests using Sidecar on the same page, but I can see changes on the landing page only for the one I launched the last.
It looks like it overwrites the 1st test I created before it, so users only enter the last experiment, even though they are both active.
My goal is to run them simultaneously overlapping one with another.

Anonymous: I mean this type of overlapping tests:

Cooper Reid (Statsig): <@U057R37HM3K> yes, you can run simultaneous tests on the same page.
Can you:
• verify both tests are running
• Ensure the targeted elements are different between the tests
• take a look at the diagnoses to see which assignments you’re getting for each?

• Both are live (in progress)
• Targeted elements between 2 tests are different
• I am only getting users to the 2nd test, but not the 1st in diagnostics

Cooper Reid (Statsig): OK – what are the URL targeting rules for that first test?

Can I verify them in STS console? I added them via Sidecar.

Cooper Reid (Statsig): Yes, in dynamic config
