Overview
Saved filters let you store preset board filters so you can quickly filter feedback with no repetitive setup needed. This feature is available on all Canny plans, including Free.
Benefits
Save time: Quickly apply your favorite filters without rebuilding them each time.
Stay consistent: Ensure you’re using the same filters for uniform feedback analysis.
Work smarter: Reduce repetitive tasks and focus on insights, not setup.
Creating a saved filter
You already have a "Default" filter. If you adjust the filter by changing the options on the left side, you'll be prompted to update your current filter or create a new one:

Things to note:

Sorting selection is also part of a saved filter.
Words or phrases typed into the Search box are not included as part of a saved filter.
