How do I filter files by documentation status, module, or tag?

Last updated on Nov 10, 2025

Short Answer: Open 'Filter files', choose values for 'Document status', 'Modules', or 'Tags', then click 'Apply filters' to update the file list.

Prerequisites

  1. Repository view is open

  2. You know which module/tag or status you want to filter by

Steps

  1. Click the filter icon next to the left 'Search files' box to open the 'Filter files' modal.
    'Filter files' modal appears.

  2. Under 'Document status' choose a value (for example select 'Documented' from the dropdown).
    The chosen document status is shown in the modal.

  3. Select one or more entries in 'Modules' and 'Tags' (click the chips to add/remove filters).
    Chosen module/tag chips appear under Active filters.

  4. Click 'Apply filters'.
    File tree and 'Filtered results' update to match the filters.

Troubleshooting

  1. Filter returns no results or hides expected files.
    LikelyCause: Filters are too restrictive or conflicting filters selected.
    Action: Reopen 'Filter files', click 'Clear all' and reapply only the filters you need.

  2. 'Apply filters' doesn't change the list after selection.
    LikelyCause: Modal was closed without clicking 'Apply filters'.
    Action: Reopen the modal, click 'Apply filters'.

Note: Active filters show as badges in the left panel after applying; use them to quickly verify which filters are active.
