# Breakdowns

Understanding your audience composition is essential for optimizing your targeting strategy. With the **Segment Breakdown Insights**, you can now analyze how different criteria shape your segments in real-time.

This feature allows you to visualize field distributions directly within the Segment Builder, making it easier to refine your audience selection.

### How to check breakdowns

#### In the segment builder

* Open the **Segment Builder**.
* Select or create a segment.
* Click on the Breakdown tab.
