Filtering the contents of the view

Filtering a view is eliminating certain types of objects, such as media files or cyclic links. You can filter a navigation view and a links view. If the view shows peripheral panes as well as the main pane, the filter applies only to the active pane.

Filtering is particularly useful in the main pane of a links view as a way of simplifying the view of complex sites.

To filter a view:

1. Display the navigation view or links view.
2. Click the pane you want to change (main, scratch, or reference).
3. Click the Filter tab in the View palette.
4. Select any combination of items you want to show. (Unselected items are hidden.)
5. Select (to show), or deselect (to hide) any combination of items in the view.
