+=== View and filter detection alerts
+The Detections page offers various ways for you to organize and triage detection alerts as you investigate suspicious events. You can:
 
 * Filter for a specific rule in the KQL bar (for example,
 `signal.rule.name :"SSH (Secure Shell) from the Internet"`).
-* View detection alerts in the *Rule details* page (click
-*Manage detection rules* -> rule name in the *All rules* table).
 
 NOTE: KQL autocomplete for `.siem-signals-*` indices is available on the
 *Detections* and *Rule details* pages, and in Timeline when either `All` or
 `Detection alerts` is selected.
 
-TIP: Use the icons in the upper left corner of the Alerts table to customize
-displayed columns and row renderers, and view the table in full screen mode.
+* Use the date and time filter to select a time range that you’re interested in exploring. By default, this filter is set to search the last 24 hours.
+* View detection alerts generated by a specific rule. To do this, click *Manage detection rules*, then click on a rule name in the All rules table. The *Rules detail page* displays a comprehensive view of the rule's details, and alert details are displayed in the Alerts table beneath the Trend histogram.
+* Use the *Stack by* dropdown in the Trend histogram to select specific parameters by which to visualize the individual counts. For example, if you select `signal.rule.name`, the histogram displays the total counts by alert name.
+* Filter alert results to include building block alerts or to only show alerts from indicator match rules by selecting the *Additional filters* drop-down. By default, building block alerts are excluded from the Alerts table; therefore, including them expands the number of alerts.
+
+NOTE: When updating alert results to also include building block alerts, the Security app searches the `.siem-signals-<Kibana space>` index for the `signal.rule.building_block_type` field. When looking for alerts created from indicator match rules, the app searches the same index for the `signal.rule.threat_mapping` field.

+Click the *Customize Event Renderers* button to enable event renderers within the Alerts table. When enabled, event renderers show relevant details that provide more context to the event. For example, if you enable the *Flow* Event Renderer, the Alerts table shows relevant details describing the data flow between a source and destination. These details include information such as hosts, ports, protocol, direction, duration, amount transferred, process, and geographic location.

+The Alert details flyout appears and offers several options for viewing alert details:
+
+* *Summary*: Shows an aggregated view of alert details. Alerts that have been enriched with `threat.indicator` data also display the *threat summary* section, which is an additional section located beneath the alert summary. In the *threat summary* section, you can view mapped data for the following `threat.indicator` subfields:
+** `matched.field`
+** `matched.type`
+** `source (threat.indicator.provider)`
+** `first_seen`
+** `last_seen`
+
+NOTE: If an alert is linked to more than one threat, `threat.indicator` data is still aggregated under the *threat summary* section, but will be parsed out in the *Threat Intel* tab.
+
+* *Threat Intel*: Shows the number of matched threats and displays them individually. Threats appear in reverse chronological order, with the most recent alerts at the top. The available `threat.indicator` and `source.event` data is displayed for each threat. If the alert has not been enriched with threat data, the *Threat Intel* tab displays the message "No Threat Intel Enrichment Found" and provides a link to Threat Intel module documentation.
+* *Table*: Shows the alert details in table format. Alert details are organized into field value pairs.
+* *JSON View*: Shows the alert details in JSON format.
