5. You can add multiple filters to a filter group in this manner.
   
   

Filter group actions

You can use the other steps to create multiple filter groups. Note that you can also drag a filter from one group to another group. However, you cannot nest filters: that is, drag a filter group into another group.

3. Close the menu. 

Open vs Closed States

Either of these states can be changed by the user.
