Step 2: Filter Files by Tags

   ✔️ All the files with the tag Tshirt appear on the screen.

   Note: You can deactivate an active tag filter by clicking on it again.

2. Click the Red tag.

   ✔️ All the files having either Tshirt or Red tag appear on the screen.

3. In the Conditional filter drop down, click Match all.

   ✔️ Only the files having both Tshirt and Red tag appear on the screen.

   Note: When applying multiple tag filters, the Conditional filter drop-down becomes active. The default selection is Match any, meaning all files with at least one of the active tags will appear on the screen. If the Match all option is selected, only files with all the active tags will be displayed on the screen.
