# Views and the sidebar

> Save a set of feedback filters as a reusable view, pin it to the sidebar, and reopen your frequent filters in one click. Share views with your team and manage them from the command palette.

A **view** is a saved snapshot of the [**Feedback**](https://app.sleekplan.com/feedback) list: the filters, sort order, and search you have applied. Instead of rebuilding the same filter every time you want to see, for example, open bugs or your most-voted requests, you save it once as a view and reopen it from the sidebar in a single click.

Views live in the **Views** section at the bottom of the left sidebar, so the filters you reach for most are always one click away.

<Info>
  Views are available to any team member with access to the workspace. A view only changes what *you* see on your own screen. It never changes the posts themselves or what your users see on the public portal.
</Info>

## What a view saves

A view captures everything that shapes the feedback list at the moment you save it:

* **The active tab**, such as All posts, Active, Backlog, Trending, or Mine.
* **Every filter** you have applied: status, category, labels, owner, segment, and any advanced conditions like votes or created date.
* **The sort order** (for example Top votes or Newest).
* **The search term**, if you were searching.

Building those filters is covered in full in [Filter, sort, and search feedback](/help/feedback/filters). A view is simply a way to store the result so you do not have to set it up again.

## Save a view

<Steps>
  <Step title="Set up the feedback list">
    On the [**Feedback**](https://app.sleekplan.com/feedback) board, apply the [filters, sort, and search](/help/feedback/filters) you want the view to remember. The view saves all of them together.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Save current view">
    With at least one filter active, click **Filter** and choose **Save as view…** at the bottom of the panel. You can also open the ⌘K command palette and run **Save current view** at any time.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Name it and choose where it lives">
    Give the view a clear name, then set the two toggles:

    * **Share with team** makes the view available to everyone in the workspace. It is off by default, so views are private to you unless you turn this on.
    * **Show in sidebar** pins the view to the **Views** section for quick access. It is on by default.

    Click **Save view**. Your new view appears in the sidebar right away.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Open a view from the sidebar

Pinned views sit in the **Views** section at the bottom of the sidebar, each marked with a bookmark icon. Click any view to reopen the feedback list with that exact filter, sort, and search applied.

The sidebar shows **your own pinned views only**. A view you have not pinned, and a view a teammate shared with you, will not appear here (you can still reach every view from **Manage views**, below).

<Tip>
  If the sidebar is collapsed to icons, hover the bookmark icon to see your views, or click **Expand sidebar** at the bottom to show their names. When the Views section reads **No views yet**, you have not saved one on this workspace.
</Tip>

## Share a view with your team

Turn on **Share with team** when saving (or from **Manage views**) to make a view visible to everyone in the workspace. Shared views are a good way to give your team a common starting point, for example a "Bugs to triage" or "Needs a response" view that everyone works from.

A few things to know about shared views:

* Only the person who created a view can rename its scope, toggle it, or delete it. For everyone else it is **read only** and labelled **Shared**.
* Sharing a view does not pin it to your teammates' sidebars. Each person decides which views to pin for themselves.

## Manage your views

Open the ⌘K command palette and run **Manage views** to see every view you own and every view shared with you in one place.

From here you can:

* **Search** your views by name when the list gets long.
* **Show or hide a view in the sidebar** with the **Sidebar** toggle, without changing its filters.
* **Delete a view** you no longer need. Click the trash icon, then confirm with **Delete**.

<Note>
  A view is a fixed snapshot: there is no rename or reorder, and you cannot edit a saved view's filters in place. To change a view, set up the new filters on the feedback list, [save them as a new view](#save-a-view), and delete the old one.
</Note>

## Views vs. the view switcher

The **Views** section in the sidebar (your saved filters) is separate from the **view switcher** at the top of the feedback list. The switcher offers the built-in tabs All posts, Active, Backlog, Trending, and Mine, which set a broad scope with no setup. A saved view can build on any of those tabs and add your own filters, sort, and search on top. Both are explained in [Filter, sort, and search feedback](/help/feedback/filters#switch-views).
