 ## Solution filter files
 
 If you want to share your project-load configuration or commit it to source control, you can create a solution filter file (it has the extension *.slnf*). When you open a solution filter file, the solution opens in Visual Studio with the specified projects loaded and all the unloaded projects hidden. You can [toggle](#toggle-unloaded-project-visibility) to view the unloaded projects.
 
 Solution filter files are visually differentiated from regular solution files by the additional funnel glyph in the icon next to the solution in **Solution Explorer**. The name of the filter and the number of loaded projects are also shown next to the solution name.
