Audiences are published to a new “Audiences” section in Experience Platform

Audiences that are published from Customer Journey Analytics are now available in the new “Audiences” section in Adobe Experience Platform.

  • Audiences can be sorted in Experience Platform by using the “Origin” column, which displays the application from which the audience was originally published.
