+You can now choose between Dynamic and Manual Segments in all reports and visualizations when you add Breakdowns. 
+
+Dynamic Segments automatically stay up to date based on how your report is sorted as your data changes. With Dynamic Segments you can create reports like:
+- Funnels broken down by your top 5 app versions
+- Top 15 brands by weekly purchases
+- Bottom 10 pages by visits
+
+With added flexibility for Dynamic and Manual segments, you now have control over how segments update across your reports.

+##### Dynamic & Manual Segments
+
+Dynamic Segments let you decide how many segments to display per breakdown in your report. With Dynamic Segments, the segments selected in the report will change based on your latest data and the current sort order. Manual Segments let you choose specific segments that will always display in the report, regardless of the data or sorting.

-**Notes**
+**Notes about Dynamic Segments**
 - View N only controls how many segments to display. To decide which segments to display i.e if it’s the top segments by value or bottom segments by value or alphabetical, please change the “Sort Order”.
 - View N will show the minimum of N and how many segments are in your report. For example, if you set N=10 but you only have 7 segments, we will only show 7 rows.
-- When selecting “Show All”, the maximum number of segments displayed in the UI will be 3000 given cardinality limits. If your breakdown has more than 3000 segments, you'll only see the top 3000, dictated by the sort order.
