How do I filter issues by file(s)?

Last updated on Feb 19, 2026

Short Answer: Open the 'All files' dropdown, use 'Search files...' or expand folders, check files you want, then close the dropdown to filter the list.

PreRequisites

  1. Repository Issues page is open

Steps

  1. Click the 'All files' dropdown above the issues table.
    A file tree dropdown opens with a 'Search files...' input and file/folder checkboxes.

  2. Type in 'Search files...' or expand folders and check the files you want (for example 'user.js').
    Selected files show a checked box in the file tree.

  3. Click outside the dropdown or close it to apply the selection.
    The issues table filters to issues in the selected file(s).

  4. To clear the file filter, reopen 'All files' and uncheck selected entries.
    The issues list returns to the broader selection.

Troubleshooting

  1. Desired file is not listed in the file tree.
    Likely Cause: You might be on a different branch or the file path differs.
    Action: Check branch filters (e.g., 'develop' shown in the top filters) or use 'Search files...' to locate the file.

Note: You can select multiple files or folders from the file tree to include a broader set of results
