A segment is a saved filter: "VIP followers", "Wholesale enquiries", "Giveaway entrants". It updates by itself as contacts change, and broadcasts can target it.

Questions

Does a segment update by itself?

Yes. It's a saved filter, not a fixed list, so new contacts who match appear in it automatically.

Can I export a segment?

Yes. Open it and choose Export these contacts from the … menu to download a CSV.
