Example of path filters.

For each of the multiple path URL filter, you can directly edit any component of the filter inline or delete the entire row.
Emptying the filter's input box is equivalent to deleting the entire row of filter.

Clarity now supports a regex tester for your convenience. This ensures that the strings you meant to include in the regex are covered.
The tester is automatically filled in with the regular expression you previously entered. Type a test string to check the regex. If they don't match, you can adjust the regex in the dialogue box until you're satisfied and is matched.
Select Update regex to save the updated expression to the filter input box without manually copy and paste.

To view a heatmap for a single Visited URL, type the URL and select enter. By default, the heatmap is generated exactly for the URL you have entered.
You can also change the operator in the top left corner. If you would like to add multiple conditions on the URL, select + icon to open the advanced Visited URL filter panel. Select Apply to apply the changes to the heatmap URL.
