How does the "All other cases" work when running Experiments with Placements?

Question

We’re using Placements for multiple areas in our app, to call different offerings that accord with the placements.

And now we’re trying to run experiment for one of the placements, say “onboarding”. When setting the experiment up, I see “All other cases” section, which says :

The selected offerings will be the ones delivered:
For any placements other than the one(s) above
For any new placements added in the future when getting the 'current' offering without using placements

Now I’m concerned if this experiment overrides the Targeting(Placements) I set up, other than onboarding.

I want the experiment to only affect “onboarding” placements, not the other ones. But in the console it seems like I have to set variants to all other placements, too, and the experiment overrides all my placement settings.

Could you please explain how this works? Will the experiment settings specific to one placement affect all other placements, too?

Hi ​@inout-4dd00c! Offerings are determined in the following priority order:Custom offering overrideExperimentsTargetingDefault offeringAs experiments have a higher priority than targeting, you’re correct that the experiment will override your existing targeting/placements (for customers enrolled in the experiment). To get around this, you’ll have to recreate your targeting rules/placements within the experiment to ensure customers see the same flow (other than the variable you plan on testing).

Hey ​@jeffrey_bunnso in this case, if we want to only override "onboarding" with an experiment, we still have to re-define everyother placements in the experiment? Or if we just keep the "All Other Case" to "No Offering" it will fallback on the targeting?
