Ignore a check
--------------

Use the option **Ignore this check** only when you have verified that it does not need to be fixed, or cannot be fixed. This causes the scan to ignore the issue anywhere on your domain that appears. This option can affect your accessibility score if used incorrectly.

Restore a check
---------------

Use the option **Restore a check** when a check that has been previously set to _Ignored_ should be considered by subsequent scans.
