+## Applying select filters by default
+
+You may set a select filter to be enabled by default, using the `default()` method. If using a single select filter, the `default()` method accepts a single option value. If using a `multiple()` select filter, the `default()` method accepts an array of option values:
+
+```php
+use Filament\Tables\Filters\SelectFilter;
+
+SelectFilter::make('status')
+    ->options([
+        'draft' => 'Draft',
+        'reviewing' => 'Reviewing',
+        'published' => 'Published',
+    ])
+    ->default('draft')
+
+SelectFilter::make('status')
+    ->options([
+        'draft' => 'Draft',
+        'reviewing' => 'Reviewing',
+        'published' => 'Published',
+    ])
+    ->multiple()
+    ->default(['draft', 'reviewing'])
+```
