# Filtering notes

While visualising notes in the scene, you can filter and display only the ones you need, according to different filters.

## Filtering notes by Category

You can hide/show notes by their category. To do so, click on the dropdown arrow on the Filter by Category button, and select the categories you want to see or hide:

If you click on the button itself, you can turn the filter on/off, but the tool will remember the categories you selected in the dropdown.

## Filtering notes by State

You can hide/show notes by their state (Not Started, In Progress, or Done). To do so, click on the dropdown arrow on the Filter by State button, and select the states you want to see or hide.

If you click on the button itself, you can turn the filter on/off, but the tool will remember the states you selected in the dropdown.
