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?

Answer 1

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.
