Filter

You can quickly find the file you want in a folder with many files. The filter only works within the folder you're currently viewing, and results are shown as soon as you type. This is different from search, which covers the entire Space.

Entering a Filter

Enter a search term in the filter input box at the top right of the folder.

Using the filter

Filter Scope

You can filter based on the following criteria.

File/folder name: Shows only items whose name contains the search term
Author's nickname: Filters by the nickname of the person who created the file
Extension: Filters by file extension, such as .png

Clearing the Filter

Clearing the filter input box brings back the full list.

Filtering by Author

Select an author's name in the file list or on a board to open the author menu. Select Files by this author (on a board, Posts by this author) to show only the items that person created. An Author: name chip appears next to the filter input box.

Author menu in the file list

Select the chip to clear the filter and return to the full list. You can also open that author's menu again and select Clear author filter.
When the browser window is narrow, the author column in the file list is hidden. In that case, widen the window or select the author's name on a board.
From the author menu, you can also send that person a direct message or start a 1:1 chat right away. These two items are not shown for yourself or for an author with no user information (for example, a file uploaded from outside).

Good to Know

The filter only works within the current folder.
To search the entire workspace, use the search feature.
