Is there an easy fix to keep filter draw always closed unless you click on an option?

Hi there! Sounds like you don’t want to expose all filters by default on collection pages. If you’re using the vertical filter layout on desktop, then perhaps the horizontal filter layout might be best for your needs as it takes less room. Here’s a quick video on how to toggle that setting. https://screenshot.click/14-13-gpej4-lyeui.mp4

Let me know if this didn’t fully answer your question!

Thanks
