## How to filter your dashboard

Any metric you click on in your dashboard creates a new filter. Click on any referral source, any of your pages or any location, device or goal and your dashboard will then show only the traffic for the metric you have selected.

You can mix and match filters too. So you can click on a referral source, then click on a country and then a goal to see all the traffic sent by the chosen referral source that is based in the selected country and that has converted on the selected goal.

## How to save a segment
70+
71+
Click on any metric in the dashboard or use the "**Filter**" button to filter your audience to a desired segment. After completing your segment, click on the "**Save as segment**" button that is visible in the filters menu (`***`) that you see when your dashboard is filtered.
72+
73+
Segments can be saved either as "**personal segments**" (these are visible only to you) or as "**site segments**" (these are visible to all the team members that have access to your dashboard).
74+
75+
Choose the type of segment you want to create, give it a recognizable name and click on the "**Save**" button.
76+
77+
### How to open a previously saved segment
78+
79+
Click on the "**Filter**" button on the top right of your dashboard to see the list of your saved segments under the "**Segments**" heading. You can also search for any of your existing saved segments. Click on a specific segment to open that segment in your dashboard.
80+
81+
Note that the "**Segments**" heading will only be visible in the "**Filter**" button after you save your first segment.
82+
83+
### How to edit or delete a previously saved segment
84+
85+
Open a previously saved segment and then click on its name in the top line of your Plausible dashboard. Then click on the "**Edit segment**" button. Here you can add new filters or remove any existing filters from your segment.
86+
87+
You can then click on the "**Update segment**" button. Click on the arrow on the right-hand side of the "**Update segment**" button to save the existing segment as a brand new segment ("**Save as a new segment**) or to delete the existing segment ("**Delete segment**").
