 This text field allows you to filter the object list based on the object's name field. You can search by partial text -- for example, entering //''ext''// will show both "**Ext**erior" as well as "T**ext**".
-==== Light Mode and Dark Mode ====
-ITW currently supports two views -- light mode and dark mode. You can toggle between the two using the button at the top right of the screen. Your choice is saved locally via your browser's local storage, so the next time you visit, ITW will display using your theme preference. If you clear your browser's cache (including local storage), your preference choice will be erased. This setting is also browser specific so if you rotate among different browsers or have multiple users, each can have its own unique preference saved.

+Items in List view are collapsed by default. Clicking on the ">" next to an item will expand it to display things like additional controls and details. Click on the element's ">" again to collapse it.
+List view is available for all ITW tabs (except log entries).
 ==== Loading A Specific Tab ====
 By default, ITW will show the Devices tab when it first loads. If you would like to begin with a different tab, you can add  a URL query argument to the end of the target URL (**query arguments must be lowercase, and you must include //''index.html''// as a part of the URL for this feature to work**).
