Frequently asked questions
The numbers do not change right after I mark noise.
Result updates may be delayed depending on when the screen refreshes or when reanalysis or a new lookup runs.How are multiple filter conditions applied?
Filter conditions are combined according to predefined rules. Customer documentation focuses on what each UI filter means and does not expose the internal filter_set structure.Previous/next navigation in post details behaves unexpectedly.
If you entered from Query Dashboard, navigation is based on the current Query and filter context. If filters changed or a post was excluded, the exploration results may change.Troubleshooting
