The following actions are available in the header:

  • Publish - You can publish a journey if there are no blocker errors. When published, the journey status changes to Live. If the journey has errors, the button is dimmed with content information: Resolve errors before publishing.
  • Duplicate - This action is similar to a clone function, but the duplicated journey does not include any assets.
  • Close to new entries - If you close a journey, accounts currently in the journey continue their path in the journey and no further journey entrance can happen. A closed journey cannot be restarted. You can duplicate a closed journey.
  • Abort - If you stop a journey, accounts in the journey immediately stop their progress and no further journey entrance can happen. A stopped journey cannot be restarted. If you block new entrances without stopping people’s progress, consider closing the journey instead.
  • Delete - This action permanently deletes the journey.
