The last option is to choose if the current overview setting is used. With the option unchecked, anything that can be picked up by the scanner will be displayed, potentially making desired information difficult to be picked out. Selecting this option will apply your current overview filters to the scan results, essentially turning the scan result into an extension of your overview.

~~It should be noted~~, ~~however, objects that cannot be added~~ to ~~the overview, such as~~ probes, ~~will never show up on~~ the ~~scanner if you choose to apply~~ overview ~~settings~~. ~~(Spotting~~ combat probes ~~can be very important: their presence may mean you~~ are ~~about~~ to ~~be scanned down and attacked~~.)

Currently, it is possible to create a probes-only filter, but the in-game overview editor is not capable of the task. ::ccp:: The detailed steps may be found here: [[Varius Arcturus' Overview Guide#Setting up a Probes Preset]]. This makes it far easier to pick up combat probes, as they are the only results when this overview is active and the directional scan is set to filter to overview types.
