How do I filter issues to specific file(s) using the "All files" picker?

Last updated on Feb 23, 2026

Short Answer: Click "All files", use the file picker tree or "Search files..." to find and check file(s); the issue list will then show only issues from those selected files.

PreRequisites

  1. Open the repository Issues page.

  2. The repository file tree must be indexed (the file picker populates after the review/scan completes).

Steps

  1. Click the "All files" dropdown in the filter row.
    The file picker opens showing "Search files..." and a folder/file tree (e.g., src, tests).

  2. Use the "Search files..." input to find a file, or expand folders to locate the file you want.
    Matching files are highlighted or visible under their folders.

  3. Check the box next to one or more files (for example, select "user.js" under src).
    Selected files show checkmarks. The picker stays open until you click outside or close the dropdown.

  4. Click outside the picker (or use the picker’s close affordance) to apply the selection.
    The issue list updates to show only issues from the selected file(s).

Troubleshooting

  1. No files appear in the file picker.

    Likely Cause: The repository scan/review is still running, or the app can’t access the repository file tree.

    Action: Wait for the "Reviewing ... files" banner to finish, then reopen the picker. If it still doesn’t populate, refresh the page.

  2. Selecting a file doesn’t change the issue list.

    Likely Cause: Another active filter (status, severity, assignee, or search) is hiding results.

    Action: Clear other filters and the search box, then retry the file selection.

Note: The file picker supports folder expansion and file search. Selected files combine with other active filters (they apply together to narrow results).
