# See and filter rows that match a highlight rule

> Use focus mode in Mammoth Conditional Highlights to count and filter the rows a rule matches, then turn it into a pipeline task, a new View, a copy or a CSV.
>
> Applies to: Where: View › Conditional Highlights panel › rule card

Click a rule card in the **Conditional Highlights** panel to turn on focus mode: matching rows keep the highlight and the rest are dimmed. Use it to check exactly which rows a rule affects before you share a View. For creating rules, see [Highlight cells and rows with colour](https://mammoth.io/docs/learn/clean-and-shape/highlight-values/).

## Read the focus mode banner

- Matching rows show the rule's highlight. Other rows are dimmed.
- A banner above the grid shows the count, for example *"Highlighting 14 of 200 rows for brand is 'BasicWear'"*. For a Color Scale it reads *Color scale on* and the column name.

To leave focus mode, click the same card again, or click the **X** at the right of the banner.

## Filter to the matching rows

For a Condition Rule (not a Color Scale), the banner has a filter button (tooltip **Filter to matching rows**). Click it to show only the matching rows. The banner then reads *Showing 14 of 200 rows · Filtered by* and the rule, with a 3-dot menu and a close button that removes the filter. This filter is temporary and doesn't add a pipeline task.

The 3-dot menu offers:

| Action | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Convert this filter into a Pipeline Task** | Opens Conditional Filter prefilled with the rule's condition. The task is added only when you apply it. |
| **Create new view with this filter applied** | Creates a new View with a Conditional Filter task using the rule's condition |
| **Copy values to clipboard** | Copies the visible columns of the matching rows, tab-separated with a header row |
| **Export list as CSV** | Downloads the matching rows as a CSV file |

The first two actions are hidden in preview mode.
