# Filters
Filters allow for you to filter every item added to the collection/playlist from every builder using the `filters` attribute.
You can have multiple filters but an item must match at least one value from **each** filter to be added to a collection/playlist. The values for each must match what Plex has including special characters in order to match.
All filter options are listed below. To display items filtered out add `show_filtered: true` to the collection.
You can use the `plex_all: true` builder to filter from your entire library.
**Filters can be very slow. Try to build or narrow your items using [Plex Search ](builders/plex.md#plex-search ) if possible.**
