How to stop a running experiment in Google Analytics


I am running an experiment in Google Analytics and I want to stop it. I am reading the documentation at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2366607?hl=en and it says:

To stop a running experiment:

  1. In the experiment list, click the name of the experiment that you want to stop.
  2. In the menu bar, click STOP EXPERIMENT, then click the confirmation.

Where is the "menu bar" that they mention, which is where I am supposed to find this "STOP EXPERIMENT" link. Look at what I get when I go to my running experiment:

Edit:

It is right there. It says "Stop Experiment" in the navigation area on top with the gray background. I was expecting to find something more prominent like a button that is easy to see/find. This would probably be a usability feedback for Google, that they should make that button more prominent. I am used to running experiments in Optimizely and they have the play or pause button in a much more prominent way. I like the graphical user interface of Optimizely better than Google Analytics's GUI.


Solution

  • I found it. It says "Stop Experiment" in the navigation bar with the gray background.
