New features or enhancements features
For organizations upgrading from Adobe Analytics to Customer Journey Analytics, there are multiple upgrade options and many considerations to keep in mind based on an organization’s current Adobe Analytics implementation and long-term goals. New documentation resources are now available to help you better understand:
- The various upgrade paths that exist
- Which upgrade paths are available based on an organization’s current Adobe Analytics implementation
- The advantages and disadvantages of each upgrade path
- Step-by-step guidance for each upgrade path
- Considerations for handling historical data
contextData fields via XDMYou can now use the Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK to send Streaming Media web data to Adobe Experience Platform Edge Network. This enhancement allows you to build more personalized campaigns and provide more personalized content, resulting in more tracking data to report on.
This change provides a unified collection method for web implementations across all Platform solutions, such as Customer Journey Analytics, Adobe Real-time CDP, Adobe Journey Optimizer, and Event Forwarding. Previously, the only way to send Streaming Media web data to Edge Network was by using the Media Edge API.
In mid April 2024, Adobe will begin increasing the default report suite low-traffic thresholds as follows:
- More dimension values may be available for reporting.
- Segments and calculated metrics may include more data.
- Virtual report suites based on segments may include more data.
- Classification exports may include more data.
A new “Admin settings” tab in the Locations manager gives administrators control over whether users can create and edit accounts and locations. These settings apply when users configure cloud import and export accounts and configure cloud import and export locations.
Administrators can also limit the types of accounts (Google Cloud Platform, Azure RBAC, Amazon S3, and so forth) that users can create and use.
Previously, any user could create, edit, and use accounts and locations for any type of account.

Users can now make the accounts and locations they create available to all users in their organization. Only account and location owners and system administrators can edit and delete accounts and locations.
Previously, accounts and locations could be used only by the user who created them.
These settings are available when users configure cloud import and export accounts and configure cloud import and export locations.

Currently, Activity Map link events are counted as their own events and incur extra cost. This enhancement takes some link events and packages them into the next hit, similar to how events are handled by AppMeasurement.
