Add an `sts:ExternalId` condition to your IAM role’s trust policy in AWS and set it to your Organization ID to strengthen the security of your assumed role connection.

Previously, an | | | update to one audience caused every audience that the | | | profile qualified for to be resent, resulting in larger | | | exports than necessary. This aligns with the existing | | | streaming and batch audience export behavior. | +-------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+ For more information, read the [Destinations overview](/en/docs/experience-platform/destinations/home). --- ## Run and Operate :headding-anchor: run-and-operate **New or updated features** +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Table (0 row 2, 1 row 2, layout auto) | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | Feature | Description | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | [Additional health checks](/en/docs/experience-platform/run-and-operate/health-checks/overview) | Health checks now include additional checks for the new | | | Query Service, Merge Policies, and Segmentation | | | categories, in addition to the existing Schemas and | | | Identities, Ingestion, Automatic Data Expiration, and | | | Datasets categories. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+ ## Segmentation Service :headding-anchor: segmentation-service Use Segmentation Service to create audiences from your customer data and manage their full lifecycle in Experience Platform. **New or updated features** +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Table (0 row 2, 1 row 2, 2 row 2, 3 row 2, 4 row 2, layout auto) | +---------------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Feature | Description | +---------------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Batch segmentation progress transparency | When a batch segmentation job is processing, you can now see the percentage of the audience that has been evaluated.
