View multiple user entry in Journey History

Now that we allow the same user to enter the journey multiple times, we have enhanced the journey user history feature. When you click on the search icon, a side panel opens where you enter the user's Id. When searching, you can see the list of entries for the user ordered by latest first. You can then select a specific entry to see the user's journey.

Enhancing Reporting - Support for all types of Audience Groups as filters

Previously, only filter-based audience groups were supported as filters in the reports. As a part of this minor enhancement, we have enriched reporting to support all types of audience groups—combined, uploaded, or filter-based as filters.
This will enable brands to compare reports across a combination of audience groups, including uploaded ones.
