+## Filtering notes
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/26723) in GitLab 11.5.
+
+For issues with many comments like activity notes and user comments, sometimes
+finding useful information can be hard. There is a way to filter comments from single notes and discussions for merge requests and issues.
+
+From a merge request's **Discussion** tab, or from an issue overview, find the filter's dropdown menu on the right side of the page, from which you can choose one of the following options:
+
+- **Show all activity**: displays all user comments and system notes
+(issue updates, mentions from other issues, changes to the description, etc).
+- **Show comments only**: only displays user comments in the list.
+- **Show history only**: only displays activity notes.
+

+
+Once you select one of the filters in a given issue or MR, GitLab will save
+your preference, so that it will persist when you visit the same page again
+from any device you're logged into.
