# Save explore filters as a pipeline task or a new View

> Keep the filters you made with Mammoth Explore Cards: turn them into a Conditional Filter task in the pipeline, or open a new View with them applied.
>
> Applies to: Roles: Edit access to the workspace. Where: View › Explore › Use these filters

Explore filters are temporary: they change what you see while you explore, not the View. To keep the logic, click the **Use these filters** button (⋮) beside the filter badge, next to the **Explore** toggle. It shows only while explore filters are on, and not in preview mode.

## Choose a new View or a pipeline task

| Option | What happens | Choose it when |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Create New View with these filters applied** | A name box opens (default "Filtered View"); click **Submit**. A new View in the same dataset opens with your filters applied. The original View is unchanged | Several people need this segment, or it is a regular business segment such as "Enterprise Customers West Coast" |
| **Convert these filters into a Task in the Pipeline** | The Functions panel opens with a Conditional Filter filled in from your filters. Review it and apply it; the task then runs with the pipeline | You want to change the current View for good, or the filters are data quality rules |

Before you save, open the badge list and check each filter reads the way you meant. See [Manage and clear explore filters](https://mammoth.io/docs/learn/explore/explore-cards/#manage-and-clear-explore-filters).

## Explore filters compared with Conditional Filter tasks

| | Explore filters | Conditional Filter tasks |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Purpose | Exploration and investigation | Automated data processing |
| Created by | Explore Card clicks | The Transform menu, or converting explore filters |
| Where you see them | The filter badge and chips on cards | Tasks in the pipeline panel |
| Scope | What the grid and cards show while you explore | Part of the pipeline; runs on every data refresh |
| Best for | "Let me look at this segment" | "Always exclude test data from this View" |

A Conditional Filter task also changes what View Insights and the Data Quality Report read, because those tools ignore explore filters and read the whole View after its pipeline.
