# Filtering
When we implemented filtering, we listened to our users (including ourselves) and aimed to solve these requests:
* *“I want to quickly find a page in the page tree that has been created or updated.”*
* *"I want to include pages with different statuses."*
* “I want to see only a subset of the tree where I have tasks.”
To address these, we designed filtering to make navigation within a tree faster and more focused, while also allowing you to exclude irrelevant content.
## Filter behavior
To enable the filter press the Enable button
Choose from the most commonly used filter types, or select *More* to add additional filters.

Select More to add additional filters
After applying the filters you will have the tree with the applied filters.
Tree with the matching criteria
You can filter for
* Page title
* Changes (updated or unread)
* Created date
* Last updated date
* Page status
* Assignee
* Owner
* Label
* Content type
* Tasks
* Type
By default only ***Changes***, ***Status*** and ***Task*** filter will appear, to use all the other filters simply click the **More** tab to add any additional filters you need. Once you no longer need a filter, just remove it, and it will disappear from your active view. This way, you keep your workspace clean, streamlined, and tailored to the way you work.
Use hidden filters
Filters are joined by **AND**, so when multiple filters are enabled, only pages where both are true will be returned.
You can show or hide the filter section by pressing the filter button.
{% hint style="success" %}
Unmatched pages with a desired child in the results will be greyed out, and actions—like expand all—can be performed on them.
{% endhint %}
## Keep child pages
By checking the **Keep child pages** setting, ACNC will show not just the filter result, but all the child pages the resulted pages have.
Showing child pages
When unchecking the **Keep child pages** setting, ACNC will only show the filter results.

### Save the tree with the applied filters
Page tree views can be saved with applied filters, so the next time you open the page, the page tree is already filtered (alongside every other setting in the tree).
