# Explore and compare queries in Query explorer

> Select Queries, compare posts and insights, and save reusable Views in Query explorer.

Query explorer is where you analyze posts collected by your Queries. Select one or more Queries, apply a date range and filters, and explore the results across analysis tabs.

**Manage queries** controls what you track and how posts are collected. **Query explorer** is where you analyze those posts.

## Before you begin

* You can select multiple Queries of the same type: Brand, Product, or Topic. Selecting a different type replaces the current selection.
* Select at least one Query to analyze results or save a View.
* Viewer permission or higher is required to review results. Editor or Admin permission is required to create or update Views.
* To compare your brand's share against competitors, use [Share of voice](https://syncly-a76215af.mintlify.site/en/insights/sov-analysis.md).

## Open Query explorer

Choose **Query explorer** in the sidebar. It opens directly on the **Posts** tab, with no separate start step. You can also open **Manage queries** and select **Explore** on a Query to start with only that Query selected.

## Select Queries

1. Open the **Queries** panel.
2. Choose **Brands**, **Products**, or **Topics**, or search for a Query by name.
3. Select one or more Queries of the same type. Select a checked Query again to remove it.
4. To explore a different type, choose that type. It replaces the current selection.
5. If you clear all Queries, Query explorer returns to an empty state. Results can't be analyzed and a View can't be saved until you select a Query.

## Explore results

Use the tabs to explore different aspects of the selected Queries:

* **Posts** — Browse posts that match your selected Queries and conditions. This tab opens by default.
* **Performance** — Compare post volume, impressions, engagements, and engagement rates.
* **Sentiment** — Review positive, neutral, and negative sentiment. To see why a post was classified a certain way, open it in [post detail](https://syncly-a76215af.mintlify.site/en/analysis/post-details.md).
* **Conversation** — Explore keywords, hashtags, and related terms.
* **Demographics** — Review the estimated age and gender of creators.

Use the date control, sentiment toggles, **Untagged only**, and **Filter** to narrow the analysis. Use **Search posts** to find specific posts; the search isn't saved in a View.

Changing dates and filters only affects your analysis. It doesn't change a Query's collection settings. Dates follow your workspace time zone.

Click any point, bar, or table cell in a chart to see the posts behind it.

## Work with selected posts

On the **Posts** tab, select posts to open the selection bar. From there you can:

* Save them to a [Collection](https://syncly-a76215af.mintlify.site/en/analysis/collections.md)
* Save their creators to a [Shortlist](https://syncly-a76215af.mintlify.site/en/creators/discovery.md)
* Ask Hey Syncly about them
* Mark them as noise. See [Explore posts and mark noise](https://syncly-a76215af.mintlify.site/en/analysis/explore-posts-and-mark-noise.md).

Select **✨ Hey Syncly** at the top right to ask questions about your current Queries and filters, or about the posts you selected. See [Ask Hey Syncly](https://syncly-a76215af.mintlify.site/en/ai/hey-syncly.md).

## Save and update Views

A View saves your selected Queries, date range, and filters so you can return to them later. Use the **View** chips to switch between saved Views.

* **Save as new view** saves the current conditions as a new View. Enter a name when prompted.
* To rename a View, open it and select **Rename**.
* After changing an existing View, select **Save changes** to keep the update.
* Select **Reset** to undo unsaved changes to the current View.

Unsaved changes stay in place when you move to another menu in the same workspace. Save a View to keep them for later.

## Troubleshoot

| Symptom | What to check |
| :- | :- |
| I can't select these Queries together | Make sure they're the same type. Choosing another type replaces the current selection. |
| No results appear | Select at least one Query, then check whether the date range or filters are too narrow. |
| I can't save a View | Make sure at least one Query is selected and that you have Editor or Admin permission. |
