# Deprecated: save an audience

> save_selections: deprecated; use save_audience instead.

> **Deprecated.** `save_selections` stays available for 12 months from the v2 launch, with 3 emailed notices, then it stops working. Use [`save_audience`](https://emailmovers.com/mydatahub/docs/reference/mcp/save_audience.md) instead.

Deprecated: saves the filters held in the server session under a name. Use save_audience instead. It saves an audience definition shared across the organisation; saved lists carry over as audiences (aud_). It stops working 12 months after the new tools launch, after three emailed notices; https://emailmovers.com/mydatahub/docs/migrate maps every call. Lawful basis is UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f) legitimate interests; email audiences include corporate subscribers only by default (PECR), so sole traders and ordinary partnerships are left out unless the toggle is changed.
