Installed the Optimize app but I dont see a Croct field type on my blocks
Installed "Optimize" from the Storyblok app directory. It shows up under Apps fine. But when I edit a block schema and try to add a new field, there is no Croct field type in the list. Just the standard Storyblok field types.
Do I need to enable something in the space settings, or is the field part of a different install? Storyblok space is on a paid plan if that matters.
cheers

The field type is a separate plugin, that catches a lot of people. The Optimize app gives you the experience and experiment UI inside Storyblok, but the field you attach to blocks comes from the Croct field plugin in the Storyblok app directory, which is installed separately.
Once that's installed, edit your block schema again and the Croct field type will be available. The mechanism is: add a Croct field to each block you want to personalize, then connect each one to a matching Croct slot.
Worth knowing before you wire everything up: your existing Storyblok content stays as the default fallback once the field is connected, so nothing changes for visitors until you actually publish an experience or experiment against that slot.
