[No QA] Docs updates for E/A#103309 Add declined search operator for rejected expenses and reports by MelvinBot · Pull Request #104383 · Expensify/App

MelvinBot · 2026-10-19T18:00:16Z

Explanation of Change

New feature: [Payment due @QichenZhu] Add Rejected search filter for expenses and expense reports added a Rejected Yes/No filter for expenses and reports, with the search query key declined:yes / declined:no. The filter isn't behind a beta, so it's available to all users.

This PR adds a declined: row to the expense and report operator tables in Use Search Operators to Filter and Analyze, next to the similar billable: and paid-status: rows. It also adds "rejected filter" and "declined" to the article keywords. The UI label Rejected was verified against src/languages/en.ts.

@c3024, please review the files changed and confirm they reflect the current behavior. Then post a new comment saying @MelvinBot mark this PR as ready for review.

I resolved the merge conflict by merging main into this branch and pushed the merge commit (655d604).

The only conflict was the keywords front-matter line in Use-Search-Operators-to-Filter-and-Analyze.md. I kept both sides: vendor filter from main, plus this PR's rejected filter and declined. Both declined: table rows merged automatically. The PR diff against main still shows only those three changes.

HelpDot Documentation Review

Overall Assessment

This PR makes a small, well-scoped documentation update to Use-Search-Operators-to-Filter-and-Analyze.md. It adds a declined: operator row to both the expense and report filter tables (documenting the new Rejected Yes/No filter) and appends rejected filter and declined to the article keywords. The additions slot cleanly into the existing operator tables next to similar rows like billable: and paid-status:, matching the established format and tone.

Scores Summary

Readability: 9/10 - New rows follow the exact Syntax | Description | Example pattern of the surrounding table. Descriptions are concise, action-oriented, and consistent with neighboring entries.
AI Readiness: 9/10 - Keyword additions (rejected filter, declined) reflect real search intent and improve retrieval. The changes sit under existing task-based ## headings; no new headings or structure introduced, so single-# and heading-hierarchy rules remain satisfied.
Style Compliance: 9/10 - The UI label Rejected is correctly bolded, in sentence case, and verified against src/languages/en.ts. Operator values (yes/no) are in backticks consistent with the rest of the tables. Generic terms (expense, report) are lowercased correctly.

Key Findings

Positive: Changes are minimal, consistent, and placed logically beside analogous boolean operators (billable:, reimbursable:, paid-status:).
Positive: The Rejected UI label is bolded and matches the product UI, satisfying the label naming standards.
Positive: Keyword additions align with search intent without bloating the metadata.
Minor: The two new description cells omit a trailing period ("Matches the Rejected filter"), whereas some neighboring rows end with full sentences and periods. Cosmetic and already inconsistent in the existing table, so not blocking.

Recommendations

Optional: Add a trailing period to "Matches the Rejected filter." for consistency with full-sentence descriptions in the same tables.
No structural, navigation, or terminology changes required. The diff is compliant and ready.

Files Reviewed

docs/articles/new-expensify/reports-and-expenses/Use-Search-Operators-to-Filter-and-Analyze.md - Compliant. Two operator rows and two keywords added; follows governance standards.

Note: Detailed line-by-line feedback has been provided as inline comments.
