# News Filter

The **type filter** in the top-right corner lets you narrow the feed to a single content type. Selecting **News** does two things at once — it filters the right feed to news-only rows, and it transforms the left panel into a category filter.

## The Type Filter Dropdown

Click the filter button to open a dropdown with five options:

| Option            | What it shows                                          |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **All**           | Everything — news, filings, transcripts, presentations |
| **News**          | Only AI-generated news items from SEC filings          |
| **SEC Fillings**  | Only raw SEC filing documents                          |
| **Transcript**    | Only earnings call transcripts                         |
| **Presentations** | Only investor presentation documents                   |

## What Changes When You Select News

**Right feed** — shows only news rows. Each row has a category badge (e.g. `Corporate Earnings`, `Insider Sell`, `Minority Stakes Deals`) and a 5-bar impact signal. Raw filing rows are hidden.

**Left panel** — the sector performance list is replaced by a **News Category list**, grouped by event type. This lets you drill further into exactly which kind of news you want to see.

## How Category Filtering Works

Each category has a **checkbox** and follows a three-state toggle:

<Steps>
  <Step title="First click — Include">
    The checkbox turns blue (✓). The feed narrows to show **only** news with that category badge.

    <Frame caption="Insighthread include state — Corporate Earnings checked, feed shows only Corporate Earnings news">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/insighthread-com/Bwe80cUNVkk9A-Gx/images/image-4.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Bwe80cUNVkk9A-Gx&q=85&s=18924d24f784ae5806802ec9ec910d07" alt="Insighthread category include state" width="3655" height="2056" data-path="images/image-4.png" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Second click — Exclude">
    The checkbox changes to an exclude state (−). News with that category is **hidden** from the feed.

    <Frame caption="Insighthread exclude state — category marked with a dash, matching news hidden from the feed">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/insighthread-com/Bwe80cUNVkk9A-Gx/images/image-5.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Bwe80cUNVkk9A-Gx&q=85&s=f5afb54b45f6418605a095433fa6914b" alt="Insighthread category exclude state" width="3656" height="2056" data-path="images/image-5.png" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Third click — Reset">
    The checkbox clears back to neutral. No filter applied for that category.

    <Frame caption="Insighthread reset state — checkbox cleared, no category filter active">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/insighthread-com/Bwe80cUNVkk9A-Gx/images/image-6.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Bwe80cUNVkk9A-Gx&q=85&s=116b8ddd8cefaddd56f944587eabafd9" alt="Insighthread category reset state" width="3656" height="2056" data-path="images/image-6.png" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>
</Steps>

**Multiple selections** — you can check or exclude as many categories as you want at the same time. For example: include `Corporate Earnings` + include `Dividends` shows both; include `Corporate Earnings` + exclude `Insider Sell` shows earnings news while hiding insider sell news.

<Note>
  The **News 1** badge on the filter button in the top-right shows how many category filters are currently active.

* **Pagination** — navigate through all items in the current filtered feed (e.g. "1/20") using the left/right arrows
* **Ticker + company name** and **current price change** with 5-bar impact signal
* **Headline** and **article body** — a concise, fact-only summary (\~50–60 words) generated directly from the SEC filing
* **Category badge** — confirms the event type
* **Sources** — the exact SEC filing that generated this article (e.g. `EX-99.1 · 14 Jul 2026`). Click the arrow to open the source document.

<Tip>
  Every news article links back to its source SEC filing. The Sources section is how you go from the summary straight to the primary document — or you can open AI Chat directly from the article to ask questions about it.
