# How to create and use a Segment?
You can create dynamic User Segments to use the same targeting rules in as many orchestrations as you want! Let's go through the steps together :sparkles:
## 1. Create a segment
Go to the **Data > Segments** page, where you will find the list of your current segments, and click on **New segment:**
Write a title for your segment and add the targeting rules of your choice, then click on **Save segment** ✅
{% hint style="success" %}
💡 Tip: do not choose the same name for multiple segments to avoid any mistakes when selecting it.
{% endhint %}
## 2. Use your segment
Once your segment is created, you can use it in any type of campaign or orchestration. Click on the **Use segment** button to select your segment. You can add up to 10 segments.
Your automation is now almost ready to be sent!
## 3. Manage your segments
Use the page **Data > Segments** to manage your user segments. Create, delete, update and export them from the same page! Check the **Estimated profiles** of each segment and the number of orchestrations using it in real-time:
{% hint style="warning" %}
💡 Note that any modifications made to a segment from there will apply directly to the orchestrations using it. Also, you cannot delete a segment used in a running orchestration:
{% endhint %}
## 4. Export your segments
Download the list of profiles that match the conditions of your segment by clicking on the **Export** profile button next to your segment:
Once your export is processed, you will promptly receive an email containing the download link for your file!
The file will contain the following information:
* Custom ID
* Profile ID
* Phone number (if available)
* Email address (if available)
{% hint style="info" %}
Please be aware that depending on the size of your userbase, the export process may take several minutes to generate and send. To ensure a smooth process, kindly avoid clicking the export button again during this time, as it could restart the operation.
{% endhint %}
