* In Drupal 8 it's a '''core module''' enabled by default (Views, Views UI)<br />

* This page (override)<br />
<br />
=== Exposing filters ⌘===<br />
<br />
* We can '''expose the filter''' to the user so they can '''control''' what content is displayed by the view<br />

** "Filter type to expose"<br />
** Label<br />
** "Allow multiple selections"<br />
