@GeetaSarvadnya The "sidebar filters" are shown in this attached screenshot:

We will want to ensure that the metric shows the amount of News sessions where sidebar filters were used. Testing this metric involves starting several News sessions, and clicking on the items within the filter (i.e. "For you", "following", etc.)

@DJAndries Thanks for the clarification. I have verified the issue, as you mentioned above, to see the metrics Brave.Today.SidebarFilterUsages value, I have clicked on the several items under "For you", "following" sections (shown in the GIF below) but I see Brave.Today.SidebarFilterUsages response value 0 always even if I click on 4 or 5 cards

@GeetaSarvadnya as mentioned above, please try accessing the sidebar filters from multiple sessions, as the question refers to the amount of News sessions that used the filters.
