Ignore list

The ignore list lets you permanently suppress certain findings for a project. Patterns added to the list are automatically marked as "ignored" on all future scans - saving you time on recurring findings that you intentionally accept.

Overview

Ignore list overview

  • The ignore list always belongs to a project and applies to all scans of that project.
  • Entries apply to both spell check and content assessment, depending on their origin.
  • The header shows the total number of entries on the list.

Create an entry

Entries are created from the scan detail view:

  1. Open a finding and click Ignore.
  2. The dialog offers the option "Add permanently to ignore list" (only for workspace owners and admins).
  3. Optionally, provide a reason (max. 140 characters), e.g. "brand name, intentional spelling".
  4. After confirmation the pattern is added to the ignore list.

Tip: the pattern is based on the original text of the finding. On future scans, identical text passages are treated as ignored automatically.

Manage entries

  • Origin filter - show only entries from "spellcheck" or "content assessment".
  • Search field - search patterns, reasons and author names.
  • Reset filters - resets all active filters to the default view.

Information per entry

Each entry shows:

  • Pattern - the original text being ignored (in mono font).
  • Origin - badge "Spellcheck" or "Content assessment".
  • Category - e.g. spelling, grammar, typos, punctuation, suspicious URL, test page, placeholder content.
  • Reason - if provided, the reason is shown in italics below.
  • Author and date - who created the entry and when.

Edit and remove

  • Edit reason - click the pencil icon to adjust the reason later.
  • Remove entry - the trash icon deletes the entry. The pattern will be reported as a finding again on future scans.

Note: only workspace owners and admins can edit or remove entries.

Impact on scans

  • Future scans - findings that match a pattern on the ignore list are automatically marked as "ignored".
  • Existing scans - existing findings are not changed retroactively.
  • Statistics - the project overview shows a KPI card with the number of ignore-list entries broken down by origin.

Categories

The ignore list supports findings from both scan types:

Spell check: spelling, grammar, typos, punctuation, other

Content assessment: suspicious URL, suspicious content, test page, placeholder content, unreachable URL

Tips

  • Use the ignore list for intentional exceptions such as brand names, technical terms or deliberate spellings.
  • Document the reason with a short note so team members can follow the decision.
  • Review the list regularly and remove entries that are no longer relevant.
  • The ignore list applies project-wide - an entry is valid for all scan profiles of the project.
