Glossary
Words you’ll see in Amplify Up docs and the dashboard.
Short definitions for terms used across business user and developer docs.
Audience
A named group of visitors, described in plain language or match conditions. Only active audiences take part in personalization.
Composer
The visual editor for pages. You place components, connect content, save drafts, and deploy.
Deploy
Publishes the current page for live visitors. Save keeps a draft; visitors still see the last deploy until you deploy again.
Insights
Visitor profiles and recent activity for a site — who came, what they did, and how versions compare.
Layout / page
The composed structure for a route: components, content, and any audience variants.
Personalization
Showing a different variant of a page (or region) to a returning visitor based on audiences and rules.
Site
A website you personalize. It has a public URL and a tracking ID the SDK uses.
Tracking ID
A public ID for the site (track_…). Operators copy it from site settings; developers pass it to the SDK.
Variant
An alternate version of a region or page, usually aimed at an audience.
Visitor ID
The ID for a person on your site (for example browser_…). Use it to look up a profile in Insights.
Zone
A region on a page that can show different content for different audiences, or a reusable block shared across pages.
SDK
The library on your site that renders composed pages and sends visitor events. The Node SDK is available today.
Edge
The published layout service the SDK asks for a route’s page and variation.
