The filter panel can be opened on the approvals page for projects that enabled shared revisions after 2 October 2025 by clicking on the filter button to the left of the search bar on the approvals page.

Projects where shared revisions were enabled before 2 October 2025 will see the legacy approvals page filter menu instead.​

Filters

The following filters are available on the approvals page when the new validation workflow has been requested to be activated.

Click the filter button on the top left for a panel to appear on the left side.

When a filter is applied, the URL visible in the browser changes with it.

In this article filters are displayed like so:

Filter name in menu - Filter name in URL=Filter option in URL

Default filter

The default filter is initially not visible in the URL.

When the page is navigated to for the first time the following filter is applied.

Open - status=open

Save and share the current filter

Go to the URL of a filtered page to load that page with the filter applied.

The applied filters can be saved towards the top of the filter menu.

Status

Open - Default - status=open

Content that can be searched on

By default the open filter is applied when using a text search so only open approval requests match.

To search on closed or draft approval requests, first filter on the status and then use the text search.

Capitalization

The text search is not sensitive to upper or lowercase characters.

Character amounts

Any amount of characters

Content that includes the searched phrase is matched.

Whitespace

Whitespace characters at the beginning of a search phrase are removed for matches the beginning of the content.

Whitespace characters are included for matches in the middle of the content.
