If you've made changes to your segment since creating the campaign, don't worry. Before each send, the campaign forces the segment to re-run so it has the latest list of students to send to. Any alterations to the segment will be included in this updated list.

With Email campaigns, this step is where you can see stats such as the number of deliveries, opens, clicks and bounces. Find out more about Email results here.
