# Filter media

If you have many media files, it can help to create a filter for your selectable media pane to get a better overview.

To create a filter, perform the following steps:

1. Go to **Content > Media management**.
2. In the **Selectable media** pane, click **Advanced filter**.
3. In the **Create new filter** window, specify the following general filter settings:

| **Templates** | Select a filter template that you've created previously. This option is only available if you have previously created filters. |
| --- | --- |
| **Media type** | Select one of the following options: - **Do not filter** - **Filter according to the following types**: select the type of media you want to filter by. |
4. In the **Time control** tab, specify the following general filter settings:

| **Creation date** | Select one of the following filter options: - **Do not filter** - **Limit date**: set the date and time period. - **Within the last**: set the number of days. |
| --- | --- |
| **Change date** | Select one of the following filter options: - **Do not filter** - **Limit date**: set the date and time period. - **Within the last**: set the number of days. |

| **Trusted content** | Select one of the following filter options: - **Do not filter** - **Visible from**: set the date and time. Trusted content refers to an SOC tag which ensures that spot content remains invisible until a specified time. This feature must be enabled in your system. |
5. In the **Tags** tab, move tags from **Available** to **Assigned**. If you assign a tag group, all of its tags are assigned. You can select any amount of tags from any tag group.
6. To save the filter, use one of the following options:
  - Click **Save** to save the filter for now.
  - Click **Save as** to save the filter as a template for reuse.
