# Sequence Manager

Learn how to navigate the Manage screen.

The *Sequence Manager* displays a preview of the messages in a Sequence, with options for editing and testing, and for running experiments. You can access the sequence manager from two locations:
- Select a sequence in [Messages Overview](https://www.airship.com/docs/reference/glossary/#messages_overview) and then select the edit icon (
)
- Select a sequence in the [Journey Map](https://www.airship.com/docs/reference/glossary/#journey_map) and then select the edit icon (
).

Airship also opens the sequence manager after you add or modify messages in a sequence.

## Manage screen layout

*The sequence manager*

1. Return to your [Airship dashboard](https://www.airship.com/docs/reference/glossary/#dashboard).
1. The icon, name, and environment type for your current project.
1. The sequence name.
1. [Edit the sequence settings.](https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/messaging/messages/sequences/create/edit/#settings)
1. [Start or pause the sequence.](https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/messaging/manage/change-status/#start-pause-sequence)
1. Return to the sequence manager screen from the [Performance](https://www.airship.com/docs/reference/glossary/#sequence_performance) report.
1. View the [Performance report](https://www.airship.com/docs/reference/glossary/#sequence_performance). *Performance* appears after you start the sequence.
1. [Preview personalization](https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/personalization/previewing/) in your message.
1. Exit the sequence or click  for more options.
   * **Save and exit** —  Apply changes to the sequence. The next screen will show the sequence in the [Journey Map](https://www.airship.com/docs/reference/glossary/#journey_map). If your sequence is in progress, click the sequence in the map, then click **Publish changes** to resume your sequence with your changes applied.
   * **Revert** — Exit the sequence without saving changes.
   * **Archive** — Archive the sequence.
1. Click the drawer to view sequence settings and configuration options:
   * **Trigger** — View the sequence [trigger](https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/messaging/messages/sequences/triggers/) configuration.
   * **Outcomes**
      * **Conversions** — For [sequence outcomes](https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/messaging/messages/sequences/create/outcomes/) configured for *Conversion* exit events, this is the conversion count and rate per outcome. This is labeled *Reactivations* if using the [Inactivity trigger](https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/messaging/messages/sequences/triggers/#inactivity).    
      * **Continuations** — The number of users who met the conditions for all messages in the sequence and continued to the downstream journey component.
   * **Test Run** — [Test the sequence](https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/messaging/messages/sequences/create/test/#test-a-sequence) and [view results](https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/messaging/messages/sequences/create/test/#test-report).
   * **Experiments** — Create a control group or A/B test, and view data related to active experiments. Click *Past Experiments* to see history. See the tutorials for more information: [Sequence Control Groups](https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/experimentation/control-groups/), [Sequence A/B Tests](https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/experimentation/a-b-tests/sequences/).
1. The [[Conditions](https://www.airship.com/docs/reference/glossary/#conditions_event_option)](https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/messaging/messages/sequences/create/add-messages/#conditions) set for the message. [Edit the message delay and conditions](https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/messaging/messages/sequences/create/edit/#delay-conditions).
1. The delay period set for the message. See: [Edit the message delay and conditions](https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/messaging/messages/sequences/create/edit/#delay-conditions).
1. The message summary. The message name appears at the top. If your account is enabled for [Channel Coordination](https://www.airship.com/docs/reference/glossary/#channel_coordination), the message's Channel Coordination strategy and selected channels also appear here. Click the more menu icon () for options to:
   * [Edit the message content.](https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/messaging/messages/sequences/create/add-messages/)
   * [Send a test message.](https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/messaging/messages/sequences/create/test/#test-a-message-in-a-sequence)
   * Delete the message. You cannot delete the first message in a sequence.
1. The device preview. Select from the menu to see how the message will appear on different devices. If your content is personalized, you can use the [Preview Data](https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/personalization/previewing/) option to see how the content will look when populated with data.

1. The attribution period after the last message is sent, during which cancellation and conversion events are counted in reporting. After the attribution period elapses, no further events are recorded for the sequence.
      
   <p>For sequences configured with a <a href="https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/messaging/messages/sequences/create/outcomes/">continuation sequence outcome</a> that does not include an exit event, the attribution period is the delay period set for the continuation sequence. For all other sequences, the attribution period is one day (24 hours). Sequences created prior to August 28, 2023, have a one-hour attribution period.</p>

1. [Add a message to the sequence](https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/messaging/messages/sequences/create/add-messages/).
1. After editing a sequence, click **Test changes** to [create a sequence test](https://www.airship.com/docs/guides/messaging/messages/sequences/create/test/#test-a-sequence), or click **Publish changes** to apply the changes to a sequence that is already in progress.
