Migrating from Classic Editor to Photon Editor

Blueshift's Classic Recommendations Editor (Legacy Editor) is being sunset. If you are currently using recommendation schemes created with the Classic editor, you will still be able to use them in your templates until February 13, 2024. However, you will no longer be able to clone them to create new recommendation schemes. We recommend that you migrate to the Photon Editor in Blueshift's expanded Recommendations Studio.

The Classic editor editor has the following options: Events, Related Items, Predictive Content, and Item attributes. To help you migrate to Blueshift's new Recommendations studio, we have provided a brief mapping of the options from the Classic editor to the Recipes in the new studio.
