How do I limit org-sparse-tree to a subtree?

Question

I want to see only the TODOs in a subtree, but calling org-sparse-tree then t shows TODOs in the whole buffer.

How do I limit the sparse filtering behavior to the subtree under the item at point?

One option might be to use C-x n s (org-narrow-to-subtree). — glucas, Jan 6 '18 at 21:07
That works, thanks! I will accept it if you post it as an answer. — kbdluv, Jan 6 '18 at 22:27

You can use org-narrow-to-subtree, which is bound to C-x n s by default.

This is not specific to sparse trees but can be used whenever you want to focus on a specific subtree in your org file.

And is there any way of limiting a sparse tree to a subtree without having to narrow and hide the rest in the buffer first? – Ivan Perez Mar 22 '18 at 1:24
