titleCollections
Collections can be created allowing you to group workbooks differently to their allocated projects. Collections don't alter the project structure, they just create a new way of accessing a workbook for you. You can access collections via the navigation panel, where you can create new collections and edit existing ones. To add a workbook to a collection use action button.

Collections are private unless you choose to share them. To share a collection use the three dots in the action column and enter the names of the people you'd like to share the workbook with. They will then be able to view the collection however the collection can only be edited by the owner.
Please be aware that in a collection, people can only see the workbooks they have permission to access.

titleFilters

To amend the data visible within a view you can use the filters. This won't permanently remove any data, it just hides what's displayed.

For some filters you may need to click 'apply' which will appear at the bottom of the filter, other filters will change the data displayed automatically.

If you change a filter accidentally you can use the 'undo my last action' button to undo the change.  You can also use the 'reset view' button to completely reset all the filters back to the default.

titleCustom Views

If you're always looking at specific filters you can create a custom view to save you from amending the filters every time you open the workbook.

This custom view will only be visible to you unless you select the box 'make visible to others'. You can also set this as your default view using the 'Make it my default' box.

You can navigate back to the original view at any point by clicking on 'Original (default)' in the other views section.

To delete a custom view go to 'Manage Views' and use the bin icon next to the view you want to delete.
