The **Overview matrix** shows every product you follow, one row each, with the prices priceq collected at the shops you track. Open it from the menu. You can read it in two ways, **Simple** and **Detailed**, which the switch at the top right changes. See [Simple and Detailed view](/help/en/understanding-prices/simple-and-detailed-view).

## The toolbar

- **Search product or SKU…** filters on product name, SKU and brand.
- The category menu starts on **All categories**. Pick one to see only that category. **Filter** then lets you narrow down on the product details of that category.
- **sort by** orders the list. **biggest gap in %** puts the products where you are furthest above the cheapest shop first. **biggest amount to cheapest** does the same in money. **highest price** starts with the most expensive products, and **recently moved** starts with the most recently measured ones.
- The red **need attention** button counts products where a competitor sits more than 2% below your price. Click it to show only those. Click again to show everything.

Pinned products always stay at the top, whatever the sort.

## Filter chips and shops

The small chips next to the toolbar change which prices you see. By default out-of-stock prices are left out. **include out of stock** brings them back and **pre-order only** shows products that a shop lists for pre-order. See [Why are out-of-stock prices hidden?](/help/en/understanding-prices/why-out-of-stock-prices-are-hidden). **pinned** shows only your pinned products and **moved last 24h** shows products with a price measured in the last 24 hours. Use **clear filters** to remove them all.

Under the toolbar, the **shops** row lists every shop you track, your own first. Click a shop to show only the shops you select. Click it again to undo. The switch on the right changes prices between including and excluding VAT, see [Prices with or without VAT](/help/en/understanding-prices/prices-with-or-without-vat).

## Pinning a product

Hover over a row and click the pin icon. The product moves to the top of the list and stays there until you click **unpin**.

## Products at the bottom

Products that no shop has a price for yet are grouped at the end under **products not linked yet**. **manage links →** takes you to Sources, where priceq links your products to shop pages.

## Empty states

**No products imported yet** means your catalogue is empty. **No monitored retailers yet** means you have not added a shop to compare with.

## Exporting

**Export CSV** downloads the prices for the chosen category and shops, one row per product and three columns per shop: price, rank and stock.
