#Google Search Console Performance report filters now stick
Table of Contents
There is a “reset filters” option to remove the filters you previously set.
More details. The Search Console performance reports, including the Search performance report, the Discover performance report and the News performance report will keep the filters you set across each, as you navigate from one to the next.
Also, when clicking on a row in a specific tab in the Search Console performance report, the report will automatically switch to the Queries tab. If you’re already in the Queries tab, the report will automatically switch to the Pages tab, Daniel Waisberg from Google explained.
This was supposedly a very highly requested feature.
What it looks like. Here is a screenshot of those filter buttons:
Why we care. When doing your SEO reporting, you will need to change your behavior when using Google Search Console. Now that the filters stick, you need to keep that in mind when viewing and exporting data.
This should speed things up in the long run but like any change to anything you use frequently or routinely, it may require some getting used to.
