# Modifying Experiments

In the Experiment Details Page, click 'Edit Experiment'.

In the Edit Experiment Page, you can edit the experiment's configuration. All fields except **Name** and **Experiment Type** are allowed to be modified.

## Enabling / Disabling Experiments

This impacts the `status` field in the experiment. Experiments are only considered to be running when the following conditions are met:

* Current time falls within the experiment start and end times
* Experiment status is 'active'

Experiments can be created in the 'active' state and disabled later on, or vice versa, which can help instantly modify its behavior.

1. In the Experiment Details Page, you can click 'Activate Experiment' or 'Deactivate Experiment' button beside the 'Edit Experiment' button to change the status. The corresponding button will be shown based on the status. ![Modify Experiment Deactivate Button](/files/saaOAp3pkculzeHsqx8L)
2. Upon clicking the button, a confirmation window will be shown. ![Modify Experiment Activate Modal](/files/fXtVxpgrAhKyWDMw9sQ1) ![Modify Experiment Deactivate Modal](/files/dEHIeFPUR8upWzOX5hoM)

## Experiment History

When an experiment is edited, the existing details in the experiment prior to the edit would be saved as a historical version and can be viewed from the **History** tab in the Experiment Details view. Note that status changes via the Activate / Deactivate action would still create a historical version but would not increment the version number.

## Deleting Experiments

Experiments in XP cannot be deleted - users can simply disable experiments to prevent them from being run.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.caraml.dev/user-guides/01_getting_started-1/06_modifying_experiments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
