This article covers how to change filters on a View — both temporarily for one session and permanently for the saved configuration.
Filtering on the fly
Every dashboard exposes its filters in the top bar. Adding or removing a filter chip immediately re-runs the dashboard with the new combination.
Click Filters in the top right to open the full filter panel.
Add filters one at a time — Date range, Projects, Work items, Teams.
Remove a filter by clicking the small × on its chip, or use Clear all to reset.
These changes are temporary. Refreshing the page returns you to the View's saved filters.

Persisting filter changes
To make filter changes permanent on a View:
Apply the filters you want.
Click Edit at the top of the dashboard.
Confirm the filter changes in the View settings panel.
Click Save.
Resetting a View to its saved state
If you've made temporary changes and want to discard them, simply navigate away and back, or click the View's name in the sidebar. The saved configuration reloads.
Tips for filter hygiene
Standardize filter definitions across teams — "Platform" must mean the same set of repos for everyone.
Keep date ranges relative ("Last 14 days") rather than absolute when possible. Relative ranges age well; absolute ranges go stale.
Don't stack so many filters that nobody else can interpret the View. Two or three is the sweet spot.
