+Applying Filters
+****************
+
+Applying controller filters allows you to add processing before and after the
+controller method execution. This is especially handy during authentication or
+api logging.
+
+If you use Auto Routing, set the filters to be applied in **app/Config/Filters.php**.
+See :doc:`Controller Filters <filters>` for more information on setting up filters.
