The Segments feature allows you to prioritise periods of data without disrupting the overall sync.
If something changes at the data source – such as your cloud service’s API offering new data or its server going offline – you can resolve it by using segments. This will allow you to select a precise time period to re-sync, while still ensuring your reports stay up to date with your latest data.
Alternatively, if you've recently [added a new connection](/connectors/getresponse/knowledge-base/gettingyourdata) and want your newest data to be synced _before_ syncing all your historical data, you can use segments to re-prioritise accordingly.
We give you the option to select the priority of a segment. You can specify a segment as 'moderate' priority, in which case it will just run alongside your main sync, or you can specify a segment as 'high' priority, which will pause your main sync to complete your segment before continuing with the rest of the main data.
### How to create segments
Your segments may be managed via your endpoint settings, where we show both upcoming and previously executed segments.
