# Create and Share Filter Presets

Create filter presets to quickly switch between different sets of filters. After creating a filter preset, you can publish it to share it with the rest of your team.

Filter presets are available on any page or dashboard where you see the option to set filters in the top-left corner: ![Device details page with the Add Filters and filter selector highlighted.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/Filter%20selector%20location.png)

To view a preset, click the preset selector and click on a preset. ![Filter selector opened showing available presets.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/Select%20a%20preset.png)

- Presets that you have created are listed at the top.
- Presets that another user has created and shared are listed at the botton.
- Presets with the ![Lock icon](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/Lock%20icon%281%29.png) icon are private and available only to you.

## Create a filter preset and save filters

### Step 1 - Create the filter preset

1. Click the preset selector and click the plus button to add a new preset. ![Filter selector opened with the plus button highlighted.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/Create%20new%20preset%20button.png)
2. A new preset is added to the list. Click the three-dots menu and select **Rename** to name your preset. ![Rename option for a preset.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/rename%20preset%20button.png)

### Step 2 - Add and save filters to a preset

1. Click **Add Filters**.
2. Use the filter builder to create filter conditions and click **Apply Filters**. ![Filter builder with three filters applied.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/Filter%20builder.png)
3. After applying your filters, save the filters to a preset:
  1. Open the preset selector.
  2. Click the three-dots menu next to the preset to which you want to save the filters.
  3. Click **Save Filters**![Save Filters button.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/save%20filters%20to%20a%20preset.png)

The set of filters currently applied are now saved to the preset. If you want to update a preset, change the applied filters and click **Save Filters** again. If you change the applied filters but do not click **Save Filters**, the preset will revert to the last saved version the next time you reopen the preset.

## Publish a filter preset

Publish a filter preset to make it available to the rest of your team. After you publish a preset, all users are able to view the preset.

Only the user who published the preset is allowed to save changes to the preset. Another user can temporarily make changes to their local version of the shared preset but they can't save the changes, and the changes are reversed the next time they load the shared preset.

To share a preset, click the three-dots menu next to the preset you want to publish and click **Publish**. ![Publish button](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/Publish%20button.png)

The icon next to the preset updates to indicate that the preset is now published.
