# Filter Panel

This section explains how to filter the documents using the filter panel provided on the platform homepage.

The Filter functionality helps to filter the available platform documents by the selected category.

* Navigate to the platform Homepage.
* The ***List All*** option is the default filter option for the platform documents.​
* As a result, all the available documents stored under the ***My Documents*** folder get listed (by default).

* Select a ***Document Category***. E.g., the Report category has been selected in the given image.
* The homepage displays only the documents/ folders based on the selected category. For example, the following image shows only available ***Reports*** since the ***Report*** option is selected as a filtering category.
