+# Custom page listings
+
+Normally, editors navigate through the Wagtail admin interface by following the structure of the page tree. However, this can make it slow to locate a specific page for editing, especially on large sites where pages are organised into a deep hierarchy.
+
+Custom page listings are a way to present a flat list of all pages of a given type, accessed from a menu item in the Wagtail admin menu, with the ability for editors to search and filter this list to find the pages they are interested in.
+
+For example, if your site implemented the page type `BlogPage`, you could provide a "Blog pages" listing in the Wagtail admin by adding the following definitions to a `wagtail_hooks.py` file within the app:
+
+```python
+# myapp/wagtail_hooks.py
+from wagtail import hooks
+from wagtail.admin.viewsets.pages import PageListingViewSet
+
+from myapp.models import BlogPage
+
+
+class BlogPageListingViewSet(PageListingViewSet):
+    icon = "globe"
+    menu_label = "Blog Pages"
+    add_to_admin_menu = True
+    model = BlogPage
+
+
+blog_page_listing_viewset = BlogPageListingViewSet('blog_pages')
+@hooks.register('register_admin_viewset')
+def register_blog_page_listing_viewset():
+    return blog_page_listing_viewset
+```
+
+The columns of the listing can be customised by overriding the `columns` attribute on the viewset. This should be a list of `wagtail.admin.ui.tables.Column` instances:
+
+```python
+from wagtail import hooks
+from wagtail.admin.ui.tables import Column
+from wagtail.admin.viewsets.pages import PageListingViewSet
+
+from myapp.models import BlogPage
+
+class BlogPageListingViewSet(PageListingViewSet):
+    # ...
+    columns = PageListingViewSet.columns + [
+        Column("blog_category", label="Category", sort_key="blog_category"),
+    ]
+```
+
+The filtering options for the listing can be customised by overriding the `filterset_class` attribute on the viewset:
+
+```python
+from wagtail import hooks
+from wagtail.admin.viewsets.pages import PageListingViewSet
+
+from myapp.models import BlogPage
+
+
+class BlogPageFilterSet(PageListingViewSet.filterset_class):
+    class Meta:
+        model = BlogPage
+        fields = ["blog_category"]
+
+
+class BlogPageListingViewSet(PageListingViewSet):
+    # ...
+    filterset_class = BlogPageFilterSet
+```
