## What you need to know

### Drawer or full screen?

Either can work if names, options and actions stay readable. Try your filter choices, such as type and size, on a phone and check whether you can return to the product list without losing them.

### Should results change immediately?

If filtering is fast and does not interrupt selection, immediate updates can work. An Apply button is useful when several choices are made inside a panel. Whichever approach you use, the result count must reflect the selection.

### How should active choices stay visible?

Show selected filters near or above the results, with a way to remove one or clear all. If the filter panel closes, the shopper still needs to see why only a few products remain.

### A simple check to try

Apply, review and clear filters with one hand on a phone. Check that selected choices and the updated result count remain visible.
