# Exploring Lists and Spatial Data

{% hint style="info" %}
Registry Administrators, Registry Maintainers, and Registry Contributors can explore the lists and spatial data of the Geo-Object Types under the curation mandate of their organization.

Other users can explore lists and spatial data that the organization has made **Public**.
{% endhint %}

## Opening a list

1. Navigate to the **Lists and Spatial Data** page from the sidebar. On the left, click the Geo-Object Type under its organization, then click the title of the set.

3. Expand the working version or a published version, and click **List**. Each link shows whether it's **Public** or **Private**, and **Master** or **Non-master**.

4. The list opens. The top of the page shows the version, its visibility and authoritativeness, when it was generated, and the date the list is valid for.

## Working with the list

* **Sort:** click the arrows next to a column name to sort by that column.

* **Filter:** type in the field under a column name to show only matching rows. Your sorting and filters are remembered the next time you open the version.

* **Also Show Invalid Geo-Objects:** includes Geo-Objects marked as invalid.
* **Refresh:** in a working version, rebuilds the list from the latest data. It runs in the background, with a progress bar.

* Click the eye icon at the start of a row to open that Geo-Object in the Explorer.
* On the set's page, click **Spatial Data** under a version.

See [Explorer](/version/v2.0.0/explore/explorer.md) for how to use the map and view each Geo-Object's attributes, hierarchies, geometry and history.
