Power Tip: Library Filtering on Multiple Fields

JT (alabama24)

Did you know that you can filter your library? For example: using the syntax local: will reveal all of your downloaded resources. Here is a power tip: try using multiple filters together! For example, in the screen shot below, I have filtered for all of my downloaded Vyrso resources with "parent" in the title. To accomplish this, I used the syntax local: edition:e title:parent Try it yourself!

Thank you Alabama!  I always have a tough time with 'local:' and 'edition:'.

Library Filter Fields

Use filters to reduce the number of items in the Resource list in Library and Collections.

To filter the resource list, type one of the filter fields below, followed by a colon, and then the filter. An example is type:dictionary. More examples are listed next to each field.
