There are two ways to use Visibrain's filtering system : - Click on existing filters - Manually add your boolean filters
You can click on any element within your platform!
Simply click on the indicator of your choice (for example, a hashtag), and instantly all data in the Explore section will update to show posts from the Topic that contain the clicked hashtag. The filter thus created is added at the very top, and you can remove it with a single click, by clicking on the small gray cross.
You can add and combine filters as much as you like. This allows you to explore the data in a "funnel" (drill-down) manner, easily moving back and forth between different filters.
Posts, users, and articles can also be filtered by clicking on the small target icon at the top right : Identify in a click all the posts published by a single user on you Topic.
