- Optimizely Web Experimentation

After [connecting your Web Experimentation project to your instance of Collaboration](docId\:MgDO4W849hlaxfMy4GnWn), you can link your experiment to a hypothesis in Collaboration. Linking an experiment lets you reference your real-time experiment data and orchestrate your whole experimentation program from one place. 

This linked experiment information includes the following:

- Status (running, paused, and so on).
- Type of experiment (A/B test, multi-armed bandit optimization, and so on).
- Run dates.
- Variations.
- Audiences.
- Traffic allocation.
- Metrics.
- Link to the Optimizely Experimentation Results page.

## Link experiment from Collaboration hypothesis

For help with linking experiments, see the [Connect Collaboration to Web Experimentation ](https://optimizely.navattic.com/t7bg0d5o)demo.

1. From the **Plan** page in Collaboration, click on the hypothesis you want to link to a Web Experimentation experiment.
