    Only show items with specific text in their names.

    Type text in the text filter box and press . An asterisk (*) matches anything. A question mark (?) matches any single character.

    For example, to show all items whose name starts with spot, type spot* in the text filter box. To show items with new anywhere in their names, type *new*.

    Only show certain types of objects.

    In the Show > Objects submenu, select the object types you want to show.

    To show all object types again, select Show > Objects > Clear Below.

    Only show certain types of attributes.

    In editors that show attributes (Relationship Editor with characters, Outliner with Display > Attributes (Channels) on):

    In the Show > Attributes submenu, select the object types you want to show.

    To show all object types again, select Show > Attributes > Clear Below.

    Only show objects or attributes of the same type(s) as the selection.

    Select Show > Show Selected Type(s).

    Show all objects and attributes.

    Select Show > Show All.
