## Create and Start the Settings Split Test in the Block Editor

There are over 40 core Popup Maker popup settings. We can't cover them all in this how-to guide, so we'll create a split test using the **Display** > **Advanced** > **Disable Overlay** setting as an example.

### 1. Edit your popup using the block editor

### 2. Click **Split Testing**

**Note**: You can [add more than 2 variants](https://wppopupmaker.com/docs/pro-and-pro-plus/split-test-cheat-sheet/#variants). To keep this guide simple, we're only using 2 variants.

### 6. Name Variant A

### 8. Click **Pick a setting to override**

### 9. Select the popup setting you want to test from the dropdown

In our example, we choose **Display** > **Advanced** > **Disable Overlay**.

### 10. Specify your override setting

In our case, we check the **Disable Overlay** setting in our **Variant B** (No overlay) variant.

After you name your variants and choose their overrides, click **Next—Launch config**.

### 11. Click **Next—Document**

To keep things simple, we're going to accept all defaults here in the **Launch** step. Read our [Split Test Cheat Sheet](https://wppopupmaker.com/docs/pro-and-pro-plus/split-test-cheat-sheet/#launch) to learn more about the **Launch** settings.
