      • To ignore spelling issues on a single-page basis.

      • To ignore all other issues on a domain level.

        Note: Ignored issues will not be factored into future scans, and this permanently affects the compliance score.

Select this option when the misspelled word is actually fixed by the web team on the HTML code of the webpage, or if it is a temporary (for example, in an unpublished state) known issue.

        Note: The difference between Mark as Fixed and Mark as Ignored is that issues marked as Fixed are still included in future scans and can be flagged again if the error persists. Issues that are set to Ignore are permanently omitted from future scans and compliance scores.
