SharePoint Online - Modern UI Target audience
- May 26, 2020
Audience targetting is an awesome and very rarely used feature, its unfortunate that the compilation takes so long. The only other way you can handle this is through Search Driven content and Permissions.
I personally think if you are willing to go through the initial pains of setting up Audience Targetting rules the benefits far outweigh the pitfalls. The only challenge will be once the compilation is complete then when a new user joins the organisation then they will see more targetted informationa week prior to joining.
This can be solved by onboarding a user' at least a week prior to joining the business which most enterprise companies should be doing anyway.

Thanks Martin Kleynhans for you response.
Hope this will not impact once its done the initial compile. add/remove users to security group or adding target audience to the pages?
Thanks

The only impact will be that, new members will only be Targetted after the next audience compilation.
So if you add another user, then that user will not see the information directly targetted to them until the following week.
Hope this helps.

Hi Martin Kleynhans ,
Thanks for your response. In that case i'm not sure audience targeting feature is not going to solve any business problems. Example corporate want to publish the news to target audience , they have to wait a week to target the users ?
Thanks
