This page lists every action in Stride that changes a live system, can’t be undone or affects your whole organisation, with what to check before you click.
Changes live systems
Stride writes straight to Adobe Target, AEM, Contentful, Tealium and Stripe. There is no undo in Stride for changes made in those systems.
Each linked page repeats the warning at the step itself. Use this page as a checklist before you activate, publish or delete anything for the first time.
Changes a live system #
These actions write to Adobe Target, AEM, Contentful, Tealium or Stripe as soon as you confirm.
| Action | What it changes | Check first |
|---|---|---|
| Activate an experience: Create Offer, Update Offer, Update AEM, Create Entry or Create Tealium Experience. See Activate an experience. | Creates or overwrites an offer, Content Fragment, entry or Tealium iQ extension in the destination. | The destination, and your default workspace or space. A new Target offer isn’t live until an activity uses it, but Update Offer on an offer that is already in a live activity changes what visitors see straight away. |
| Re-activate an edited version with Update Offer. See Edit, version, duplicate or delete an experience. | Overwrites the linked offer with the new version. | That the version you are activating is the one you want live. |
| Bulk Activation. See Preview, activate or delete experiences in bulk. | Creates Adobe Target offers for every selected experience at once. | The selection and the offer names. You can double-click a name to rename it before you create. |
| Update Offer from Manage Offers. See Edit Adobe Target offers. | Overwrites an existing offer in Adobe Target, including offers made outside Stride. | Whether the offer is used in a live activity. |
| Activate a Contentful entry. See Contentful and GitHub entries. | Sends the entry to the destination you choose. | The destination and your default Contentful space. |
| Publish changes or Run now on a product feed. See Publish and run a feed. | Builds the feed and pushes the products into the Adobe Target Recommendations catalogue. | The Adobe Target environment and the preview. Save draft is safe; publishing is not. |
| Products with 0 inventory: Delete from Target on a feed. See Schedule, deliver and protect a feed. | Removes out-of-stock products from the live catalogue on every run. | That you want them removed rather than sent with inventory 0. |
| Add Entity in Manage Recommendation. See Check and manage products in Target Recommendations. | Adds a product to the live catalogue in the selected environment. | Select Environment before you add anything. |
| Add to Adobe Target on the audiences list, and every run of the AudienceStream mapping function. See Send AudienceStream audiences to Adobe Target. | Creates audiences in Adobe Target using your config rule. | The audience names, workspace and description in the review table. |
| AI Assistant requests that change activities, such as activate, pause, rename or reschedule. See Ask the AI Assistant. | Changes the activity in Adobe Target. There is no extra confirmation step. | The activity ID and the wording of your request before you send it. |
| Tealium data layer crawls. See Crawl and validate your Tealium data layer. | A real browser loads pages on your website on the schedule you set. | The Domain and Crawl Interval. The crawler only intercepts tracking on its own visits, which carry a test cookie, so real visitors aren’t affected. |
| Upgrade Plan and Cancel Subscription. See Billing, payment methods and upgrades. | Takes a real card payment through Stripe, or ends your plan. | The plan, Monthly or Yearly, and the card. |
Can’t be undone #
Stride has no recycle bin. Once you confirm, these are gone.
| Action | What you lose | Check first |
|---|---|---|
| Delete an integration. See Edit, delete or set a default integration. | The integration and its stored credentials. | The Review Dependencies step, which lists what still uses the integration. |
| Delete an experience, or Bulk Delete on Manage Experiences. See Edit, version, duplicate or delete an experience and Preview, activate or delete experiences in bulk. | The experiences and their versions in Stride. | The selection, and the linked offers and entries that the dependency check shows. |
| Bulk Delete in Manage Recommendation. See Check and manage products in Target Recommendations. | Products in the live Adobe Target catalogue of the chosen environment. | The environment and the ticked rows. |
| Delete a saved task. See Manage saved and recurring tasks. | The task and all its logs. Deleting a product feed’s task also deletes the feed and its run history. | Whether pausing is enough: set Status to DISABLED instead. |
| Deactivate Account, or Deactivate an organisation. See Your profile and organisations. | Your access to Stride, or every member’s access to the organisation. | That you won’t need the account again. Coming back needs a new account. |
Affects your whole organisation #
These settings change what everyone in the organisation sees or uses, not just you.
| Action | What it changes | Check first |
|---|---|---|
| Tick or untick a source or destination in Setup. See Sources, destinations and how Setup works. | Which features everyone in the organisation can use. | Talk to your team. Unticking hides features other people rely on. |
| Set as Default on an integration. See Edit, delete or set a default integration. | Which account Manage Offers, Functions, image uploads and the AI Assistant use, for everyone. | That the integration has the right products and working credentials. |
| Set as Default on an Adobe Target workspace. See Manage Adobe Target workspaces. | Where new Adobe Target offers are created, for everyone. | That it is the workspace your team works in. |
| Edit Usage Scores on a usage dashboard. See Adobe Target and Analytics usage dashboards. | How every event is scored, including past data. | Agree the point values with your team. |
| Add files to an AI Assistant project. See Organise with projects, context files and prompts. | Every member can see and change every project and its files. | Don’t upload anything that only some members should see. |
| Downgrade the plan. See Invite and manage users and roles. | If the new plan allows fewer users, Stride blocks every member except the organisation’s first Owner and deletes pending invitations. You then unblock members up to the new limit. | Who needs access straight after the change, and the new user limit on My Plan. |
