Search & filters

You can quickly narrow your storyboard down to just the shots you care about — by what's written in their notes, whether they're favorited, or whether they're hidden.

How do I search my notes?

1. Click the search field in the top-left of the editor (or press /).
2. Type any word or phrase.
3. The storyboard live-updates to show only shots whose notes contain your query.

The match is case-insensitive and scans across every note field — both default and custom.

What kinds of searches work?

• Single word. lens finds every shot with "lens" anywhere in its notes.
• Phrase. low key lighting finds shots that contain that exact phrase.
• Empty. Clear the field to bring all shots back.

There's no boolean (AND / OR / NOT) syntax — keep it short.

Can I filter by tags or dropdown values?

Yes. Type the tag or dropdown option in the search field. For example, if you have a Camera dropdown with a value of Drone, typing drone will surface every shot tagged that way.

Can I combine search with favorites or hidden?

Yes. The three filters stack:

• Type a search term.
• Toggle ♥ Favorites to limit to favorited shots.
• Toggle 👁 Hidden to include or exclude hidden shots.

The shot count next to the search field shows how many shots survived all active filters.

How do I clear all filters at once?

Clear the search field and turn off the favorites toggle. Shots return to their full list.

Does search affect exports and shares?

• Exports include only the currently visible shots — so an active search will narrow your export. This is great when you want to PDF-export just the "drone" shots, for example. Clear the search if you want a full export.
• Share links publish whatever's currently visible. To share the full storyboard, clear filters before publishing.
