# New filter value swatch drop available, replacing the deprecated filter value's display drop

You can now use a Liquid [swatch](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/swatch) drop to create [visual filters](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/search-and-discovery/filters#visual-filters) for your Online store themes.

The [filter value display](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects#filter_value_display) drop is now considered deprecated in favour of `swatch`. The `display` drop will continue to function as it does today for backwards compatibility in merchants’ themes.
