# Finding your documents

The **Documents** list gathers the documents you sent, the ones waiting for an action from you, and the ones you can
see in your organizations. This page shows how to find a document in it.

To open the list, click **Documents** in the left menu.

## Tabs

The list splits the documents by status, in tabs: **Pending**, **Completed**, **Refused** and **Canceled/Expired**.
The **Pending** tab shows how many documents it has.

## Searching by name

Type part of the document's name in the **Search** field, at the top of the list, and press Enter.

## Shortcuts

Above the tabs there are two buttons that filter the list with one click:

* **Pending for me**: only the documents waiting for your signature or approval.
* **Submitted by me**: only the documents you sent. Available from version 3.3.0.

When a shortcut is on, its button turns solid and the **Filter** button shows how many filters are on. To turn it
off, click the **X** on the button.

## Filter

Click **Filter** to open the **Filters** panel.

![Filters panel](https://docs.lacunasoftware.com/images/signer/novidades-3-3-0-en-us/filters-panel.png)

| Filter | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Organization** | Shows only the documents of one organization. |
| **Folder** | Shows only the documents of one folder. |
| **Submitted by** | Shows only the documents sent by one person. From version 3.3.0. |
| **Submission period** | Shows only the documents sent in a period. From version 3.3.0. |

To filter:

1. Fill in the filters you want.
   * In **Submitted by**, type part of the person's name and pick them from the list.
   * In **Submission period**, pick a shortcut (**Today**, **Last 7 days**, **Last 30 days** or **Current month**)
     or fill in the **From** and **To** dates.
2. Click **Apply**. Nothing changes in the list before that.

3. The list shows only the documents that match all the filters, and the **Filter** button shows how many are on.

The filters stay on when you leave the list and come back. To undo them, open the panel and click **Clear**.

The **Submitted by** filter lists the people of the organizations where you can see the documents. In a personal
account, use the **Submitted by me** shortcut.

> **Note: Instance setting**
>
> The submitter filters are on by default. The instance can hide them with the `General:EnableSubmittedByFilter`
> setting, for example so as not to expose who sent each document.

## Actions on several documents

Check the box of one or more documents to see the actions you can take on them, such as signing, moving, downloading
or deleting. To delete, see [Deleting and restoring documents](https://docs.lacunasoftware.com/en-us/articles/signer/user-guide/sys-admin/del-docs#own-organization).
