 Instead of using the field names, the export will use the labels as they are defined inside your Serializer. A serializer field defined as `title = serializers.CharField(label=_("Some title"))` would return `Some title` instead of `title`, also supporting translations. If no label is set, it will fall back to using `title`.
 
+### Auto filter header fields
+
+Filters can automatically be added to the header row by setting `xlsx_auto_filter = True`. The filter will include all header columns in the worksheet.
+
 ### Ignore fields
 
 By default, all fields are exported, but you might want to exclude some fields from your export. To do so, you can set an array with fields you want to exclude: `xlsx_ignore_headers = [<excluded fields>]`.
