| 141 | +## Browse using custom filters and search bar |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +Browsing through a long list of changes in the entire subscription is time consuming. With Change Analysis custom filters and search capability, you can efficiently navigate to changes relevant to issues for troubleshooting. |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +:::image type="content" source="./media/change-analysis/filters-search-bar.png" alt-text="Screenshot showing that filters and search bar are available at the top of Change Analysis homepage, right above the changes section."::: |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +### Filters |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +| Filter | Description | |
| 150 | +| ------ | ----------- | |
| 151 | +| Subscription | This filter is in-sync with the Azure portal subscription selector. It supports multiple-subscription selection. | |
| 152 | +| Time range | Specifies how far back the UI display changes, up to 14 days. By default, it’s set to the past 24 hours. | |
| 153 | +| Resource group | Select the resource group to scope the changes. By default, all resource groups are selected. | |
| 154 | +| Change level | Controls which levels of changes to display. Levels include: important, normal, and noisy. </br> **Important:** related to availability and security </br> **Noisy:** Read-only properties that are unlikely to cause any issues </br> By default, important and normal levels are checked. | |
| 155 | +| Resource | Select **Add filter** to use this filter. </br> Filter the changes to specific resources. Helpful if you already know which resources to look at for changes. [If the filter is only returning 1,000 resources, see the corresponding solution in troubleshooting guide](./change-analysis-troubleshoot.md#cant-filter-to-your-resource-to-view-changes). | |
| 156 | +| Resource type | Select **Add filter** to use this filter. </br> Filter the changes to specific resource types. | |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +### Search bar |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +The search bar filters the changes according to the input keywords. Search bar results apply only to the changes loaded by the page already and don't pull in results from the server side. |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +## Pin and share a Change Analysis query to the Azure dashboard |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +Let's say you want to curate a change view on specific resources, like all Virtual Machine changes in your subscription, and include it in a report sent periodically. You can pin the view to an Azure dashboard for monitoring or sharing scenarios. If you'd like to share a specific change with your team members, you can use the share feature in the Change Details page. |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +## Pin to the Azure dashboard |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +Once you have applied filters to the Change Analysis homepage: |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +1. Select **Pin current filters** from the top menu. |
| 171 | +1. Enter a name for the pin. |
| 172 | +1. Click **OK** to proceed. |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | + :::image type="content" source="./media/change-analysis/click-pin-menu.png" alt-text="Screenshot of selecting Pin current filters button in Change Analysis."::: |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +A side pane will open to configure the dashboard where you'll place your pin. You can select one of two dashboard types: |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +| Dashboard type | Description | |
| 179 | +| -------------- | ----------- | |
| 180 | +| Private | Only you can access a private dashboard. Choose this option if you're creating the pin for your own easy access to the changes. | |
| 181 | +| Shared | A shared dashboard supports role-based access control for view/read access. Shared dashboards are created as a resource in your subscription with a region and resource group to host it. Choose this option if you're creating the pin to share with your team. | |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +### Select an existing dashboard |
| 184 | + |
| 185 | +If you already have a dashboard to place the pin: |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | +1. Select the **Existing** tab. |
| 188 | +1. Select either **Private** or **Shared**. |
| 189 | +1. Select the dashboard you'd like to use. |
| 190 | +1. If you've selected **Shared**, select the subscription in which you'd like to place the dashboard. |
| 191 | +1. Select **Pin**. |

| 195 | +### Create a new dashboard |
| 196 | + |
| 197 | +You can create a new dashboard for this pin. |
| 198 | + |
| 199 | +1. Select the **Create new** tab. |
| 200 | +1. Select either **Private** or **Shared**. |
| 201 | +1. Enter the name of the new dashboard. |
| 202 | +1. If you're creating a shared dashboard, enter the resource group and region information. |
| 203 | +1. Click **Create and pin**. |

| 206 | + |
| 207 | +Once the dashboard and pin are created, navigate to the Azure dashboard to view them. |
| 208 | + |
| 209 | +1. From the Azure portal home menu, select **Dashboard**. Use the **Manage Sharing** button in the top menu to handle access or "unshare". Click on the pin to navigate to the curated view of changes. |
