Overview
There are two filters available to filter content based on content type. You can filter by file extension or by file type. Please also see Configuring Predefined Groups for information on how predefined groups cover large numbers of extensions for particular file types such as images.
File Extension
In the File extensions field, type the extensions you want to filter separated by commas.
File Type
The File types list displays the available file types you can filter. Select one or more types.
