How to view your tracked bills on the Hearings page

In addition to using the workspace filter at the top of the page, you can easily see which bills you're tracking by looking for the orange indicator next to a bill's ID number. Click on this indicator to open a bill card, where you can track or untrack, or tag or untag, the bill. This card will also display key information like the bill status, bill title, and relevant committees. You can also click on the full bill name (in bolded black text) to open the bill page in a new tab.
