Overview

You will find a range of decision buttons beside an issue, either on the check details screen or inside the inspector.

These allow you to make decisions to ignore or approve an issue, for example by approving an unrecognized spelling.

Making decisions

Depending on the issue and your user permissions, you may see a range of decision buttons.

Taking a spelling issue as our example, selecting the Learn button would add this spelling to your account dictionary and prevent us from flagging the same word elsewhere.

If more advanced options are available, they can be chosen by selecting the down arrow. These options will change depending on the issue displayed.

Where do decisions apply?

Decisions can be made both for your overall website and for any sections within the website. Decisions for the overall website will apply down to all sections within the site. Decisions for a section will apply to the pages of that section and anywhere else those pages are tested.

As an example, let's say your site has a section called "Blog" that includes all pages in a "/blog" directory. If you approve a spelling for "/blog/someArticle", the misspelled word count for the section will go down. The issue count for the larger website will also go down, since that page is part of the overall site. If any other sections happen to include the "/blog/someArticle" page, the issue count there will also be reduced.

Undoing decisions

You can always undo your decisions. For example if you approve a spelling, you will be shown an explanatory message with a link to undo the decision in case the button was selected accidentally.

If you miss that notification, you can always view a complete list of your decisions on the Decisions screen and undo it later.
