The following filtering options are available on the left panel:

  • Modified: You can select Yes or No. If you select yes, only the modified DITA maps are shown. A modified map is a map that has been generated since it was last published.
  • Preset: Select a preset for which you want to filter out the map files. This column shows the title of the output preset configured on the map file. For example, if you choose AEM Site preset, then only those maps are shown that have the AEM Site output preset configured on them.
  • Language: You can select any of the available language codes and display only the selected language in the Maps and Presets tab.

The filters are updated when you switch from the Maps and Presets tab to the Audit History tab and vice versa.
