Usage of the Advanced filter

The Advanced Filter is very flexible. You can include or exclude multiple categories and sub-categories in a single task—like building with LEGO blocks. Here are some common use cases:

1. Translate a specific sub-category: you can translate specific fields within a category, such as product titles, product descriptions (body HTML), or blog meta titles.
2. Translate multiple categories and sub-categories: you can translate several content types in one task. For example, translate collection titles and descriptions, plus product titles and descriptions, all at the same time.
3. Exclude a specific category or sub-category: you can choose to translate everything except certain content, such as excluding product metafields.
4. Exclude multiple categories or sub-categories: you can also exclude several items at once. For example, translate all content except collection URL handles, collection metafields, product URL handles, and product metafields.
