You can narrow the target audience of a modification by using and combining segments.
Select the segments that you want to include in or exclude from the target audience. You can either define a single selection of segments to which to show or to not show the modification, or a more complex set. If you do not select any segments, the modification is valid for all visitors no matter how they are segmented.
Besides segments, you also have other options for defining the target audience, including:
- Deciles
- Devices
- Target groups
For more information about these options, see Defining advanced modification settings.
