Discover overlaps and compare audiences
After creating a project within a collaboration space between an advertiser and a publisher, you can now compare your audiences against your collaborator鈥檚 audiences. This way, you can discover overlaps between audiences and get insights broken down by match keys or identities. This helps advertisers decide which audiences to share with publishers for activation.
The match keys used to discover and compare audiences are set when you connect with a publisher. To change the overlap percentages indicated in preparation for running campaigns, you can remove match keys, but you cannot add new match keys at this point. To do that, head to the connection settings between the collaborators.

Once the prerequisites noted above are met, you can start exploring and comparing the overlap between your and your collaborator鈥檚 audiences.
