### Reuse an existing filter
Once you've added a filter to a report, you can use it in other components or even other reports. Adding an existing filter to a component *reuses* that filter. Reusing a filter does not create a copy of the filter. It's actually the same filter, so if you later edit it in one place, that changes the filter everywhere in the report.
If you reuse a filter for a chart or control with an incompatible data source, the chart or control will display an error. You can fix this by editing the filter to use dimensions or metrics that are common to both data sources.

### Copy components and reports with filters
When you make a copy of a page or component within a report, its filters are reused by the copy.
If you copy a filtered component into a different report, Insights makes a new copy of the filter. It has no relationship to the original filter. Note that if you copy and paste the component a second time, you will get another copy of the filter. The 2 copies are not related.
If you make a copy of a report and change the data source, any filters in the report get the new data source.
