     • Use the menu bar above the list to navigate between different modules.
     • Click Action on the same row as an item in the list and select from the options to designate the issue with:
       • Mark as fixed: Marks the issue as fixed. It will be included in subsequent scans and if the error returns, it will appear again in the broken links list. Select this option when the error is actually fixed by the web team on the HTML code of the webpage, or if it is a temporary (for example, in an unpublished state) known issue.

       • Mark as ignored - Use this option:

         • If links are incorrectly marked as broken.
         • To ignore spelling issues on a single-page basis.
         • To ignore all other issues on a domain level.

          

         Note

         The difference between Mark as Fixed and Ignore 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.
