Visual Experience Composer changes

The 51黑料不打烊 Target Standard/Premium 25.2.1 release (February 17, 2015) introduces an updated Visual Experience Composer (VEC). This article explains the differences between the previous and updated versions of the VEC.

The VEC displays when you create or edit an existing activity.

Major changes to the VEC

The following sections explain the major changes in the updated VEC compared to the previous version.

Experiences rail

Like in the previous version, the Experiences rail remains on the left side of the VEC. The Experiences rail cannot be collapsed.

You can create, rename or remove experiences using the Experiences rail. Click the Add icon ( ) to add a new experience. Click the More Actions icon ( ) to duplicate, delete, or redirect an experience.

Components rail (new)

You can add a number of components to your web page and edit them as needed by using the new Components rail.

As compared to the previous VEC version, you cannot replace a selected element with a component.

Modifications rail

To open the Modifications rail, click the Show Modifications icon ( ) in the Components rail. The Modifications rail changed position from the right side to the left side of the editing canvas.

Properties rail (new)

The Properties rail lets you change properties of selected elements on the page, whether these elements are HTML elements or objects specific to Target, such as recommendations or offers.

The Properties rail is collapsible in the right rail. Click the Show/Hide Properties icon ( ) to the right of the rail to collapse or display the Properties rail.
