Thank you for your comment and I do agree with you. And I feel that the whole sharing process, this also counts for dashboards, should be a bit easier. There is still space to improve. ;-)

Best,
Paul

With regard to point #6, I agree that being able to share segments with other users is a powerful feature, but there is a flipside: the share process is a bit cumbersome, involving sharing of links, and if you have segments you want to share with other users, you have to go through the sharing process for each new user to a given profile (or each existing user that doesn’t yet have the segment).

So this can sway the decision toward a separate profile with the appropriate filters that are then automatically applied for everyone who uses the profile.

Thanks for the article,
John
