Navigating Connect

Account Switcher

If you have multiple Connect accounts, you can use the account switcher to switch between those accounts by clicking on the caret to the right of the current account name.

From the list of accounts that appears, you can either scroll or use the search bar to find the desired account, and then click the account name to switch to that account.

Global Search

Beneath the account switcher is a Search menu selection that opens the smart search, where you can view a list of your recently updated objects and data assets (such as Connect audiences, destination accounts, and segments) and search for those objects or data assets.

For more information on using the global search, see "Use the Global Search".
