Difference between 'Reanalyze Previous Data' and 'Only Apply to Future Data'

When saving your tracker changes you get two options... what do they mean exactly?

โ€‹'Reanalyze Previous Data' - Select this option if you would like all of your collected data to match your current changes.
โ€‹Depending on the volume of your tracker, the reanalyzing may take some time, so please be patient with us ๐Ÿ™ ย 

'Only Apply to Future Data' - Select this option if you wish to only apply the changes to your future data. The data you have already collected, prior to making changes, will remain the same.

Some examples of use cases:

1. If you have changed the search term, and you do not wish to see the posts with the old search terms in your tracker, please select "Reanalyze previous data" as it will filter through your collected posts (with the original search term) and only leave the posts that apply to current search term.ย 

Alternatively, If you have changed the search term, but you still wish to see the posts with the old search terms in your tracker, please select "Only Apply to Future data" to keep all of the posts with the original search term. Your tracker will now contain posts with the old and new search terms.

2. If you have created a new sub-tracker, and you would like to group all the data you have collected into the sub-trackers, please select "Reanalyze previous data"

3. If you have added a new IG Business account as a filter to your tracker, selecting "Reanalyzing previous data" will remove all the other posts that are not coming from that specific IG Business account. Selecting "Only Apply to Future Data" will keep the posts from other accounts, but any future data will only be collected from the specified IG Business account.
