Views are saved filters that show a subset of your notes. This vault includes an example view — "Active Projects" — that shows all projects with status Active.
## What to try
1. Open the command palette (Cmd+K) and look for a "New View" action, or create a `.yml` file in the `views/` folder
2. Define filters — for example, show all tasks with status Open
3. Set a name, icon, and color for the view
4. Save — the view appears in the sidebar under Views
## View format
Views are YAML files in `views/`. Here is an example:
```yaml
name: Open Tasks
icon: check-square
color: orange
sort: "modified:desc"
filters:
all:
- field: type
op: equals
value: Task
- field: Status
op: equals
value: Open
```
## Tip
Views update automatically as you add or change notes. They are a powerful way to create dashboards for your projects, areas, or any slice of your vault.
